First Pack of Cards

[SyrNy1960]

Not a first pack of cards, but this what got me started into collecting cards. 1970's Nabisco Sugar Daddy

1978 Topps cello pack with Woodie Fryman at the top. He was a Cub and growing up in the Chicago area I thought why not. I was 8 years old and didn't know too much about Major League baseball. I was too busy playing ball with friends. There were also Tom Seaver and Pete Rose cards in that pack. Not a bad pack.

My Dad started me at 4 and got me a 1988 Fleer partial set for Christmas 1989. The stars were removed so he got it dirt cheap and I didn't really care one way or another

These are the actual cards.
My Dad would pick me up from the "babysitter's house" after his work; she was a friend of the family; I walked to her house after school each day; in case some may worry about me needing a babysitter, lol.
My Dad would always pick up the late edition newspaper, before going home. I would get lucky sometimes; asking Dad if I could get a pack of baseball cards; when he responded, "Sure".
I pulled Mick from the first pack; sure, he's MC/OC but he was and still is, mine.
(Love my Mom. She kept the shoeboxes)
