I used to be obsessed with this set as a child. Mind you I was born in 80, so by time i was old enough to start collecting seeing one of these bad boys was a real treat. They still are. | ||
First packs bought. First card was #1 Mets Team Card (World Champions). Since I lived in update New York naturally the Mets became my favorite team - I mean, who wouldn't want to root for the world champs! | ||
This was my first introduction to baseball cards. My parents must have purchased them as I just remember having a handful of cards and then a few more in 1971. In 1972 I got interested, opened packs and did some trading...mostly to eliminate duplicates. I then started looking for those few 1970 cards I had thrown in a draw with other toys and pulled them into my collection.
