First Card: 1978 Kellogg's Lyman Bostock. I was 6 years old and I was wondering what all the "stuff" was on it....so I picked it off!
First Packs: 1983 Topps Football from a corner drug store in San Jose, California in 1983. I bought them for the sole purpose of scooping mud.
First single card purchase: 1972 Topps Hank Aaron for $10 at Dixie's Card Shop in Williamsport, PA. I was only 8 years old in 1984 and for some reason I thought Hank Aaron was white. So I bought the card and kind of stared at it for a while.
