Here’s mine…
First Pack of Cards: 1979 Topps football wax packs from Rimsteads Hardware store.
First Set Completed by Hand: 1958 Topps football set. I built this complete PSA set card by card with a final GPA of 7.03.
First T206: Mickey Doolan batting pose. I bought this from Sportscards Plus around 1996’ish I believe. It later graded an SGC 40.
First Card To Pay >$100 For: The first I remember was a T206 Charles Seitz PSA 7. I paid $150 around 1997’ish.
First Card To Pay >$1000 For: 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 8.
**(edited to add)** Most memorable trade: Around age 11 I traded a EX 1958 Topps Ted Williams for an EX-MT 1976 Topps Hank Aaron. To the kids in my town Aaron was a much bigger legend than Ted Williams and the guy I traded with was the first kid in town to come up with a Hank Aaron card.
