for me it would have been to buy all the 90's basketball wax I could find. I collected mainly between 1995 and 2000, so wish I had all the rare inserts today.

1987 - 12 year old me did purchase a few Fleer Basketball packs from my local mall card/coin shop. I didn't get a Jordan, but back then I was happier when I pulled the Bird anyways. I still have all of those cards.

However.....if I could go back to that day, I would tell myself to buy those cheap looking cards in the sealed team bags that I was looking at. There was whole bin of them and I believe they were a buck or two. I don't think there was a Celtic bag or I probably would have bought it.....but I sure would tell myself to buy all of the Bulls bags! That's the only time I remember seeing Star Basketball Cards at a card shop. It wasn't until many years later that I realized what they were. I'd go back and buy the whole bin. Even if there were no Bulls bags/Jordan's and they weren't 1984's, I'd still love to own any of the Barkley's/Stockton's/ Hakeem's/etc.

1973 age 12. Should have listened to Dad. "Why not buy some of those 1973 Topps cello packs and never open them? They might be worth something some day."
