Can’t say I remember what card was the best I ever pulled from a pack. Unfortunately my brain was clouded with wants of Detroit tigers. Any earlier 70’s Kaline cards. Of course getting those rookie cards of Ron Leflore and Mark “the bird” Fidrych were huge. When I was maybe 6 I guess I remember my mom taking me to Sears. They always sold crap that as a kid I had no interest in. So I would run around like a wild man in between all the clothes and most times would lose my mom and need to have the store call her on the pa. Anyway one time they were selling what in my mind I would like to think were complete sets of 1974 Topps. I’m sure now that I probably drove my poor mom crazy for that box of cards. I remember it being shaped like a complete set and when I opened it, it had all the Aaron’s at the front. Needless to say I pulled them all out broke them up into teams and proceeded to wrap them up with rubber bands. Years later I never found any of the cards that would of been stars of the time. I’m sure all the older kids I hung out with got anyone decent. But I had no shortage of Ed Brinkmans,Chuck Seelbach and Ike Browns.
On another note. I got one of those game used bat pieces when topps was doing t206’s years ago of Ty Cobb. I’m sorry but that thing looked like a wood chip out of the flower bed. Lol
I gave my dad some 90’s hockey cards and he took an interest in it and he bought a couple packs. They were older packs and the first one he opens pulls out a Wayne Gretzky auto. After he passed I had it graded to preserve it and it sits on my sons self now. All of my dads cards from the 40-50’s his brother took after he went in the army.
