When I was in 7th grade I made the biggest school bus trade anyone could remember.

Anyway, this card will always be my favorite because it was my first vintage. My first legend. Up until this my collection was filled with a bunch of late 80s Canseco’s and Jackson’s and Clemens. This changed everything.
What’s your favorite?

That was also my first card too! I bought it at a card shop in West Covina CA over 30 years ago... it’s probably the card I have with the least monetary value, but it has the most sentimental value because it brings me back to the orange julius and caramel corn days with my pops. My mom would shop and He’d let me go to the arcade and I’d run over to the shop afterwards before we left the mall. It will be the last card I own too!
