As with the "earliest memory of baseball" thread, the year for me, would have been 1957. Don't specifically remember the first pack I opened, but do recall pulling a Mantle. Though I was a Dodger fan, Mantle, being the biggest name in the game at the time, having just come off a triple crown year, was quite a score. My mother had bought the pack for me and I thought she had worked some maternal magic in having the Mantle show up in it! Well, I was only 7!
