OT; Your Fondest Memory

I grew up about two hours away from Pittsburgh, PA and rooted for the Pirates as a kid. I had been trying to put together a set of 1980 Topps cards one pack at a time. I probably had about 500 cards out of the 726, but no Willie Stargell. One night on the way home from church, my mom bought me a pack of cards. That was a lucky pack of cards, as Willie Stargell was burried in the middle of the pack. The car was dark, but in the moonlight I could still make out Willie's profile. In disbelief, I looked at the card from every possible angle with the available light. What a great feeling! That was 26 years ago and I have never forgotten that feeling!
