On a camping trip when I was really young, we stopped at a gas station and my dad bought me a pack of cards. I remember this card was in the pack, I don't remember any of the others.

Man, I loved those cards as a kid. Whenever I stayed overnight at my grandfather's, we made the same usual three stops:

1. Fish market to buy fresh fish (and see the live lobster in the tank)
2. Grocery store to buy Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which we would then freeze/eat
3. Convenience store for an after-dinner snack like cookies or something.

At the convenience store, he would always buy me a pack of cards. Topps Big were the only ones they carried for some odd reason, so it was always those I wound up with. Great memories.

My dad and I busted a box of '79 OPC hockey when I was 5. He was very excited to pull this guy (unfortunately, the original card we pulled is long gone; I saved up all summer after dad died and replaced it with this one).

1971 Willie Mays. A new kid moved in next door and we found a stack of 1971 baseball cards that the previous owners had left in his barn. He divided them up between a couple of us and I ended up with the well-loved Mays.

Still have it. That must have been around 1975 or '76
