For me, it was a 1971 Willie Mays. The neighbor next door had recently moved in and we went back to the barn in his backyard where there was a stash of baseball cards left by the previous owner. We divided them up three ways and I got the Willie Mays, creases and worn corners and all. It was a true 'barn find' and started me down an on-again, off-again relationship with little pieces of cardboard.
And yes, I still have it. Recently put it in as part of a '71 set I was working on. It's by far the worst condition card in the set.
