One of the first cards I ever pulled from a pack was a Jim Brown rookie card, 1958 Topps. I always thought he was cool, and the card was great, but no way did I have any idea, being 7 years old, that he would become so dominating. I kind of wish I hadn't sold my collection from back then, but it went for a good cause. My kids' Christian school needed a set of encyclopedias in the 80s. Still love the hobby!
