Default Favorite Wax Pack Memory

My father frequently took me to the Newton Mass. (I believe it was at the Days Inn) Baseball Card Shows in the Mid to Late 80's... I would typically bring my $5 allowance and spend it on .35 topps packs from 1986-87... At the time Roger Clemens was my Favorite player and I had owned his "Cheapie" Topps rookie, but really wanted his 85 donruss but didn't have the $12 or so dollars to spend on it... On the way out of the show, my father treated me to a pack of 85 Donruss (must have cost about 1.25). And I was ecstatic to find a wonderfully off-center Roger Clemens Rookie Card in the pack!!! At the time I thought it was the pull of a lifetime!!! I still own that very card today!
