Default The 1st sport card, you remember seeing?
Was in 1974, on a hot summer day.I was walking home on B & Northern railroad tracks.On some of the railroad ties{OILED},was what looked like maybe 5 to 8 packs of baseball cards laying there!I guess some one just wanted the rock hard gum that used to come with the cards?Was maybe 70 to 100 cards laying around, but the 1st card i saw was #393. Olando Pena {p} for the Cardinals.Not the best player or card in the set, but was my 1st!I was hooked ever sense,football, hockey.Next year i added Basketball & none-sports.Was easy collecting in those days for .10 cents a pack! Boy, how things have change.Thanks for your time,Rob.
