For me, the year was 1980. I had bought lots of cards that year and was closing in on a complete set of 1980 Topps cards. However, I was missing the Willie Stargell card. But one night, on the way home from church, my mom bought me a pack of cards. I opened the cards in the dark car and was thumbing through them. In the dim moonlight, I thought I could see a... Willie Stargell card. Sure enough, it was Willie. He was staring back at me as if to say... Here I am... I do exist! I couldn't believe it! Living just a couple hours from Pittsburgh and having watched them in the 1979 World Series, I was ecstatic! I doubt that my mom quite understood my excitement. But of all the packs I have ever opened, that is the one that I remember.
