First baseball card I ever purchased was a 1986 Donruss Jose Canseco Rated Rookie that I bought off my friend, I was about 7 or 8 years old.

First vintage was a beat up 33' Goudey Ruth in the late 90's.

When I was a kid I only pulled cards from packs. I didn't actually buy a card until I was 40. The card was a T206 Gandil.

Default What was the first baseball card you ever purchased?

The one purchase that I remember when I was a kid was when I was around 12-13 years old (22 years ago) and I took the $50 I had and picked out the '82 Topps Cal Ripken rookie. To tell you the truth, I don't know why I chose that card, but I did. I remember the guy asking my Uncle if it was ok that I was purchasing such an expensive card



My first pre war card was my first T206, which was on January 1st of 2011...when it all began. Everyone had just left the house after celebrating the first of the year and it was around 3am...I was browsing eBay and I came across this oldie and thought the price was right ($19.00 with free shipping) and thought why not...and the rest is history

Wow, mine as well, the future stars Cal Ripken regular 1982 issue. I definitely bought packs before this, but this was my first individual card purchase, I think it was in the late 1980's. I know I paid $6 for it and the condition wasn't the greatest, but not too bad.

I think my first non "pack from store" purchase was a box of 1978 football. I split the cost with a friend (we were 8 years old at the time!) and we sent away for it (can't remember what company we bought it through). I still remember sitting at his kitchen table when it came in the mail and taking turns picking packs to open. The two cards that I remember were that I got a Dorsett and he got a Payton. I think I still have some of the commons lying around somewhere!

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
