Age 9, Mantle in a 5 cent pack from local corner store. He was in first series and not hard to come by

I remember my mom buying me a pack of 91 Upper Deck cards and pulling a Donnie Baseball. I was in heaven.

Pulling that card out of a pack was such a thrill for me as a 17 year old. Reflecting back I should have kept it since it was my first significant pull but I traded it in 2000 or 2001 for a bunch of Fb rookies. Also, I didn't truly know how much upper deck produced and how tough a pull it really is. They still might be printing those 1992 base cards for all I know. LOL.

Pulled an 83 Boggs rookie at age 5 in 1987.

Tough question. Going by value now? Or value when pulled?

My first pack I got A Reggie Jackson rookie. It's a bit beat now, but still one of my favorite cards.

These are the highlights, from years. Some were not much when I got them, some aren't much now.

94 I was buying signature rookies and kept getting he same guys on the signed card. 3 of this Jeter guy from NY who doesn't really look tough enough to play in NY.

9? Hologram die cut emit smith upper deck something or other. A big deal a the time.

97? Edge personal collection an early 1/1 but not marked no indication on the card as to the name of the insert set, and it took me a few years to figure out that's what it was.

The most valuable right out of the pack.


Couple years ago, either GQ or Allen and Ginter triple autograph with Pujols and a couple other really good players #/10 and was around 350 at the time.

So one of those, depending on how you look at it.

A couple weeks ago I picked my son up from basketball camp and we stopped by a local card shop on the way home. He bought some packs and I bought some supplies. He knows I don't really collect too many modern cards and as we looked at all the "old" wax boxes on the shelf he asked me what pack I'd want if I was going to buy one. I looked at the shelf for a minute and replied that as a kid I always loved the 1983 Topps cards. It was the first set I ever put together.

He wanted to buy a pack for me and he chose one carefully from the 1983 box. We opened our cards when we got out to the car and I was pretty surprised when I opened my pack. It had four Hall of Famers and a would-be Hall of Famer (if not for scandal):

--Wade Boggs (rookie)
--Tom Seaver (super veteran)
--Reggie Jackson
--Bruce Sutter
--Pete Rose

I complimented his pack-picking ability and told him he could keep the star cards for his HOF collection. He was thrilled and so was I.

my first major pull was in 93 or 94 not sure but it came from the ted Williams collection it was a Michael Jordan card that looked like it was airbrushed. I sold it to the dealer right then for $30 in trade for more packs of cards and I remember how excited I was.
