My first packs were 69 Topps - no clue what cards were there, but I remember a Félix Millán - one of my favorites. Before I became a Pirates fan, it was Atlanta - the nearest team to Orlando back then. Don't have any of them anymore, but I do have the 7-11 Slurpee cups from '71 and '72, + the HOF set (73?). They take up way more space than cards, and rarely see the light of day anymore.

Well, we did play against each other in Little League.

Love hearing these stories, I was waiting for Ted to chime in with his stories from his pulling cards from packs days!

Can only imagine the feeling of pulling guys like Mays, Mantle, Robinson, etc from a pack. I'm sure the feeling has remained the same for younger collectors today when they pull the stars from today out of a pack of cards!

At least back then though there was no "Prismatic Superfractor Diecut Serially numbered NFT variation." Simpler times, simpler cards, I'm sure. And for a hell of a lot cheaper too!
