My First Cards!!!!!!
I ran across a small set of cards, which were the first sports cards I ever owned! I was bussed to a larger town for school, and I saw these other kids with hockey cards, which looked so cool. I asked one of my friends to buy me a pack, as the small town I was from did not sell them anywhere. I gave him a quarter, and he bought me a pack of cards, which I got the next day from him. They are a sorry looking lot now, as they have creases in them, battered corners, and a wax stain on the front of one of the cards. They are a cherished item from my childhood, and I now have them in a plastic pouch in my desk drawer.
The cards are...........

#311-Jim McKenny-Toronto Maple Leafs
#265-Blaine Stoughton-Toronto Maple Leafs
#114-Errol Thompson-Toronto Maple Leafs
#134-Jack Egers-Washington Capitals

#109-Bill Fairbairn-New York Rangers
#273-Larry Giroux-Detroit Red Wings

#62-Hilliard Graves-Atlanta Flames
#87-Detroit Red Wings team card checklist (unmarked)
#217-Warren Williams-California Golden Seals

Jim McKenny==Cool card great guy a legend in the T.O sports broadcaster biz
also one of my favourite cards.
I remeber riding my bmx to the freindly neighbourhood comic shop in brampton(actual store name) I was excited when UD first did hockey, think I bought 2 boxes with b-day money. I remember my first pack had a gretzky hologram, and I remember trading it with the store for a wendal clark rookie. I also remeber putting all the habs cards in the spokes of my wheels........I'm so old
