    1966 Batman, Black Bat. The cards are so well loved, they aren't in any condition to grade.

    My first, either 1962 Mars Attacks (Know I bought from Penny Vending machine, but I must have busted some packs), or I specifically remember busting a lot of 1964 Topps Outer Limits Packs, I had hundreds and hundreds of cards from that set at that time!

    Probably 1976 Topps King Kong, although I only got a few of those.
    I proceeded to open thousands of Star Wars wax packs subsequent to that.
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!
    Don't waste your time and fees listing on ebay before getting in touch me by PM or at gregmo32@aol.com !

    Haha. I don't think Ricky Martin was in the group then and not in the set. I know this because I used to sell the packs(still have some left)

    Either Davy Crockett, Space Cards, Zorro or Isolation Booth - just a pack or two out of curiosity as a little kid, except for Isolation Booth which started me collecting.

    Im with many of the others: 1966 Batman Black Bat. I bought those packs before I ever bought the 1966 Topps Baseball (my first baseball packs).

    Maybe they came out earlier in the year?

    It was either the fourth series of Wacky Packages from 1973-74 range or it was these monster choppers cards that came with a HUGE slab of bubble gum. Not sure what those cards were, but I ended up with a fair amount of them (and cavities).

    I think my first non sport cards would have been either Battle Star Galactica or Mork and Mindy. I remember having some of those when I was pretty young.
