My brother was in having his tonsils out in 1981, I bought him 3 rak packs of topps. for the longest time we managed to hold onto a few of the original cards from those packs through assorted purges, moves etc... finally lost the last one a couple moves ago and it breaks my heart.
If you ever find a heavily worn 1981 Topps George Brett with "AP" written on the back in black crayon, I'd probably buy it from you!
I do still have my original "directed" collection. In about 1982 I decided I wanted every Steve Garvey card. Then he went to the Padres, but in that short window I did acquire quite a few for a preteen on a budget.
