For me it was a T206 Fred Clarke holding bat. I saw an ad in the back of a magazine around 1982 when I was 10. You send them $3 and a SASE and they'll send you one T206. You pick the team, they pick the player. I picked the Pirates because, hey, Honus Wagner, right? Ended up with a HOFer.
Wish I still had it, but I sold it in my teens when girls became more important than baseball cards
