What Childhood Collecting Memories, Habits & Stories do You Have?

I was looking at my Mother's Cookies cards and remembered wondering why anyone would have the player sign the back like they suggested (shown below). Then I got to thinking about other little habits I'd do, like flick the pack on the brim of my cap before opening with my dad. What childhood memories, habits and stories do you have?

    I used to watch a lot of Gomer Pyle USMC on TV, and on one of the episodes Gomer did this little rain dance that I thought was hilarious. So I opened a pack of 1991 Upper Deck baseball one day and found a Michael Jordan which was a hot card at that time. Afterwards I was so happy, that I did the Gomer Pyle rain dance. Everytime I found a hot card after that, I always did that little dance. I can still do the dance to this day.
