1973 Clemente
 
Again being a Pirates fan, but growing up in Illinois, getting a Clemente was pretty special for me too. I finally traded a small fortune (by 11 year old standards in 1979) for a 1972 Clemente in action card. I think part of the trade was a 1961 Willie Mays that my uncle gave me. Terrible "objective" trade, but 40 years later, I would do it again.

That card always freaks me out with the shadow covering most of his face.

For me back in 1983 it was the 67 set and probably the seaver card in particular. After I collect that set I went after 66 and it was the Perry and Clarke cards.

I started collecting as a kid in 1989, so for me it was the 89 UD Griffey.

Another old featherhead from that era - Arch Manning, a close pal of both of those guys - still doing Tribe broadcasts. Can't even thumb down the pajama unis.:)
