It is amazing how many remember all this. These are going to be best guesses for me.

First Pack of Cards: 1986 Topps
First Set Completed by Hand: 1986 Topps and I still have it in the binder I put them in WAY back in the day. For vintage the only set I ever done was the 55 Bowman.
First T206: Some common that I bought from the BST section
First Card To Pay >$100 For: No idea what exact card but it was a Wade Boggs card in the mid/late 90s when they started doing the 1/1 cards.
First Card To Pay >$1000 For: 1952 Eddie Mathews
Most Memorable Trade: This one was fairly recently. One of my favorite guys in the hobby and very long time collecting friend is getting older and decided to sell everything. We have made countless trades over the years and he had a card I had been trying to trade him out of for many many years. I received a very rare 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken variation graded Gem 10. I sent him a couple cards I knew he could sell for way more and we were both very happy.
