We have reached the end of the month. How did I ever make a blog post per day a few years back? No idea at this point, but we are down to the last card for February. The last card for the month is my first card.
This 1983 Fleer Jim Smith was the first card in my first pack. The six year old me loved this card. Look at those creases and rounded corners. If I ever sell my baseball cards, I am selling them all except this one. It's still one of my favorites to this day.
Back to normal blogging stuff tomorrow.

Congratulations on making it 29 days in a row! I'm even more impressed that you remember that this card was the first card you pulled in your first pack. I can't even remember the first pack of trading cards I ever opened... but I'd guess it was a pack of 1977 Topps Star Wars.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you did it either, as I couldn't imagine trying to post every single day.
ReplyDeleteMy first pack would be '83 Star Wars Return of the Jedi. I still have the torn-in-half '86 Topps Dickie Thon I found on the ground in the summer of '86, my first ever baseball card.
