1983 Topps Stickers was the first thing I ever collected, then I got into cards the following year with Fleer and Topps

Cool idea for a forum post I guess technically it was original GPK that my grandparents would pick up for me at the local mom and pop pharmacy which of course no longer exists. When I first got into collecting and started to take care of my cards was 1987 topps...the wood grain border....the gum...I was hooked!

Great stories so far, everyone!
For me, it was 1984 Topps Baseball. My dad used to occasionally buy a few packs for my sister and I. They'd often be sitting in a little brown paper bag in the back seat of the car, just waiting for us to split them evenly and open them.

Ohh, a nice choice. It seems it was a good era for set designs.

The 1961 Fleer Pirates sound pretty cool. Thanks for sharing :)

Sounds like it was a frustrating start, but you persevered.
