Local gas station store for me...1979 Topps and I was 9, pulled my hero at the time, Reggie Jackson, out of my first pack. I was hooked. Still have the card. Same store had some "old" 1978 packs, my mom bought them all and brought them home to my brother and I, so technically I also opened 78s. Those seemed ANCIENT to me at the time...great memories.
I do remember a buddy brought a beat up 1959 Topps card to school, first I had ever seen something so old. I was the lucky kid that was able to get the right trade and ended up owning it...may as well been a hundred years old.
