This is the first pack of cards I remember opening. The border made it so unique. Living in Michigan, my parents would let me keep half the money for recycling glass ($0.10/bottle) and I would use that money to buy cards. I was only 12 years-old. The hobby has changed so much. I really wish this was still an open for younger folks today | ||

The first pack of cards that I ever opened was a pack of 1987 Topps Baseball. I never saw cards before and it was an interesting experience, introduced to me by friends who just had cards. Loved the future stars and all rookie cups on the cards. Fun and innocent times!! | ||
