I think it was the Beckett that came out in 1981 when I was 10 years old.
1981 Cards were just out but they were already listed in the Price Guide. Pretty sure it was only Topps. Fleer and Donruss were not listed yet.
This was before Valenzuela and Raines became big. I looked in the guide and a brand new George Brett out of the pack was valued at $1.00.
I had been obsessed with baseball cards since I was 5-6 years old. But seeing that 1981 Topps George Brett in the Price Guide, days after opening up my first packs of cards for the year................is what really took it to another level for me.
Don't even know why I remember that.
