First Pack of Cards

[bozzio37]

1971 Topps Super Baseball. I was 4 years old. Three big, colorful, thick cards (perfect for grubby little hands) and gum for a dime. I put together 62 of the 63 cards back then - never got the damn Nate Colbert until one of my first card shows in college. Think I paid a buck for it.

My first cards were 1977 Topps Star Wars wax packs purchased from Woolco and Kmart. My first sports cards were 1979 Topps football wax packs my dad bought me from the local hardware store.

Like many others, first pack was from 7-11, 1969. I was 6, it was after baseball practice. I seem to recall Harmon Killebrew, and definitely had a Reggie at some point.

Was actually more into the Slurpee cups back then - ultimately traded the cards away for the cups I needed to get a complete run of either '71 or '72, can't recall, but they have survived several moves more or less intact.

1979 Topps pack from the local drug store near my childhood home in Connecticut. Ozzie Smith RC… which sparked my first PC. Nothing wrong with starting with The Wizard!!!

1965 Topps. I don't remember who I got, but I do remember having a t-shirt covered with the iron ons. Like several others, I got a lot of my cards from 7-11 and also Stop N Go. I have a complete set of slurpee cups obtained by drinking a lot slurpees.
