Do you recall your first card you got in a pack?

Not my first as I bought 68 Football, but for the 1969 Baseball, it seemed like Al McBean was in every other pack of the 1st series when it came out, must have had 20 of them! Of all the cards it sticks out the most from early memories.

I've heard this type of story a lot, with variations on the player. But I've never heard anyone say "I got a Mantle in every pack"... or Mays or Koufax. Somewhere some kid must have had this happen.

My grandparents moved to Florida in the late seventies & were season ticket holders for Bucs. Here is the 1st card I remember. My collecting habits have turned more than 180 degrees since then.
