Only one pack sticks out in my mind as being memorable. I grew up in Cincinnati during the Big Red Machine era. My Mom had this theory that Topps, in an effort to boost sales, would put fewer cards of the Reds in packs being sold in Cincinnati, forcing kids to buy more cards in the desire to land one of the hometown heroes. I was eight years old when the baseball cards came out in 1973. My Dad picked up two packs on his way home from work; one for me and one for my little brother. Sure enough, the very top card in my pack was Johnny Bench!

Another moment of disbelief for my Mom came in 1976, when I pulled a Pete Rose out of a box of Frosted Flakes.

I still have both of the cards.

We felt the same way your mother did Ron, except it was for our beloved Cardinals. I remember pulling a 1971 Gibson out of a pack. That was a great find for a young diehard Cardinal fan!

Bought a pack of 78 opc for like twenty bucks last year on eBay. Pulled an Eddie Murray rookie. It was oc but still really awesome.

1974 Topps Hank Aaron #1 Home Run King! I was 7 years old. I remember getting what seemed like 20 Aaron specials but could never get the big one. Can't tell you how excited I was to finally pull that one!

Bought packs at the little neighborhood produce stand/convenience store when I first started collecting. I still remember that thrill when opening a 1970 Topps and getting Denny McLain, the "hero" for my Tigers! Future developments would change his hero status, but the thrill of first seeing that card in the pack as an eight year-old remains a great memory!

My first ever pack - a 1984 Donruss rack that had a Mattingly, my favorite player. I was hooked.
