What is the first pack or box of football cards that you can remember opening? For some this might be harder than others to answer so that's why I ask what one you have the first memory of opening.

2003 Gridiron Kings: Was chasing Kyle Boller hit a Jimmy Kennedy Auto and Joey Harrington GU. But hey that Byron Leftwich RC was a great hit....at the moment.

Pack: 1991 Upper Deck
Box: 1992 Fleer Ultra

First single I bought that got my heart pumping because I was re-born into the hobby (even though I spent only $1):
1991 TSC Randall Cunningham in 1992 @ Gloria Rothstein card show (spring)
I say reborn because I opened up packs of baseball cards back in 1977 and thought nothing more of them. These were the days when "flip" had an entirely different meaning. I never thought of even spending money on buying a card from a "pack that had already been opened". It had a sacreligious aura about it. This thought/feeling/philosophy carried with me until that very moment in 1992.

First single that made me sweat when I bought it because I thought I was crazy nuts for giving up this amount of cash for a piece of cardboard:
1990 Score Supp. Emmitt Smith ($20) in 1992 @ Gloria Rothstein card show (fall)

I still have both cards.

1991 Topps football... Back in the day I was a die hard baseball fan, and I would never purchase football cards unless the store was sold out of baseball cards. Now, I am the complete opposite.

1993 collector's choice baseball! Loved the animation and stickers they used to do when I was young.
