The first packs that I purchased were 1973 topps and I continued to buy packs through
1979. There were two stores in our small town that carried them and
my best friend and I would go over town after school and buy a few
packs at each store.
I still have a few hundred cards, I had a lot more than that but I'm not sure
what happened to them. The majority of them aren't in great condition due
to handling and flipping them as a kid, anything earlier than 1973 I won
flipping or I got them in a trade.
I remember how strange it seemed to pull cards of the Toronto Blue Jays
and the Seattle Mariners in their 1977 expansion season.
