My first was a pack of 7th series '70 Topps Baseball. My mother handed it to me in the backseat of the family car on a long trip to Maine, to shut me up (& it did..). I stared at the Bud Harrelson card, which featured him signing a program for a fan.
Then next year ('71 Topps Baseball), the stuff really hit the fan. Boy those beautiful black bordered cards with the tremendous actions shots really gripped me, and still do today.
