My first pack of cards I remember opening was a 1987 Topps Baseball. I have Topps football as old as 1984, but I don't have memories of card collecting before '87. But the wood grained border of the '87 Topps Baseball was very memorable for me. One of my favorite looks to this day.

This was the first Box and set of cards I ever opened. I was 10 yrs old when my mom bought me a box of these from Sam's wholesale club in Waco,TX. It took us an hour to get home from there by the time we got home I opened all 36 packs and I had 36 sticks of gum in my mouth. I fell in love with this hobby ever since 1987. I have taken breaks from it from time to time but I always come back. All I collect is baseball it's the greatest game ever invented and its truly Americas past time. | ||
This set will always have a special place in my heart. These were the first packs I remember opening. My brothers and I received a few packs each in our Easter baskets. My first big rookie pull that day was Ruben Sierra. While his career didn't pan out as hoped, I have been collecting his cards ever since. | ||
