first cards

The "older" kids at the bus stop had 1972 Topps (probably September '72), I just turned 7 yrs. old, looked very interesting. Next year, 1973, was first year I actually got some packs.

I remember the Toy City down the street had the 3-part cellos. Would go down on the weekend with my bike and spend time going thru the whole box on the counter looking for major stars to be showing front or back.

Also the Hostess - going to the store with my folks, would always go look at the Twinkles/HoHo's/Cupcakes and try and find a Nolan Ryan - then try and talk my mom into buying it, or if I had allowance money.

As an adult, my first big time purchase was a T206 Cobb bat on CSA 5 - way back many years ago. Eventually I sent it in to PSA for crossover, min. grade PSA 5 - and it made it! Still have that card today. However, beware, crossovers last 5-10 years have not been good.
