The one that I didn't get
I have two stories. Here's the sad one first. Walked into LCS wanting to buy 1989 Upper Deck (in 1998? I was 12). Couldn't find the box, figured they sold out, so I walked around looking for other options. 3 minutes later, guy walks in, says out loud - "Have any 1989 Upper Deck?" Response was - "Sure do! One pack left!" Man pulled a Griffey rookie. I still don't have one. That one still hurts. I learned a lesson though - speak up!

2001 was a great year!
My second story is in 2001 the All Star game came to Seattle. My dad, bless his heart, agreed to buy tickets to the card show that accompanies it as my birthday gift (he bought two days of tickets).....my dad doesn't collect cards, btw..... We went and had a blast getting autographs, buying cards, and hanging out. That year, Fleer Tradition had a Negro Leagues insert set that included relic cards. I pulled a Jackie Robinson pant swatch that I still have. Just the place, the companionship, and the pull make that the best card pull of my life.
I stopped buying packs at the end of high school. Now I just buy singles and get what I want each month.
