My earliest memory was my Mom taking me to a show in about 1976 or 1977. It was either in Collinsville or Edwardsville, IL, can't remember for sure. I was 10 years old and we were working on a 1972 complete set. I bought the 2nd series from 1972 from vending. I vividly remember the curl and pristine condition of the cards. For some reason the Chris Chambliss All Star Rookie card stands out.

Also, a friend of mine from my baseball team at the time collected cards. His mom went with us, although for reasons I can't remember he didn't go. They were working on a Hank Aaron run and she bought the RC that day. It was extremely low grade and I remember thinking I wouldn't want that card but I would certainly take it today!
