I think my first non "pack from store" purchase was a box of 1978 football. I split the cost with a friend (we were 8 years old at the time!) and we sent away for it (can't remember what company we bought it through). I still remember sitting at his kitchen table when it came in the mail and taking turns picking packs to open. The two cards that I remember were that I got a Dorsett and he got a Payton. I think I still have some of the commons lying around somewhere!

Desiderata
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
