Congrats. Mine was a batting glove card of Ivan Rodriguez from 2001 Upper Deck Mvp. I was a very happy 15 year old at the time.

Sent from my SPH-M820-BST using Sports Cards by Freedom Card Board.com

Similarly, this was my first relic, though a catchers glove, not batting glove. Love the swatch, can't get rid of it.

Mine was a Vlad Guerrero 98 SP Authentic auto. 2nd a Tony Gwynn from another box. Sadly I traded both on Beckett for crap.

Theres something about "first" gu and "first" auto.

Ive got guys in my store who still remember who they first got yrs ago.

I still remember mine. 2002 Fleer Greats of the Game George Brett jersey and 2003 Donruss something or other JC Romero auto

nice job, you always remember your first. I pulled a Gabe Kapler from a pack in 98, of course they were a lot rarer than they were now. Congrats!

this was my first i think or one of my first few. mine had a lot of stitches showing though

those game used baseballs were the rage back in the day. I remember pulling the McGwire, a 500.00+ card back in 99.

I lost my R card in 2002, bought a random blaster box of upper deck and pulled a chipper jones gu jersey.

I still didn't get back into the hobby until 2006 so I was kind of confused as to what the card even was at the time.

First game used card was a 1998 Upper Deck Ben Grieve jersey card... pulled back when game used cards were actually hard to pull (I think 1:156 packs for that particular card?). I recall it booked at $150 at one point. Now you can probably get it off of eBay for $5. How disappointing it is to see the market flooded with these types of cards.

I can't recall who my first autographed card was... I think it was out of 1997 Donruss Signature, maybe Antoine Williamson or someone like that. I have a 1996 Leaf Signature Rusty Greer but I think I bought that indpendently of a pack.

Congratulations! Definitely a feeling you never forget. Here's to many more.

Congrats. You never forget your first one!

Here is mine. I remember looking at it in awe as I did not even know it would be in the box - and Bonds was a pretty star at the time (2002). I don't recall them being "guaranteed" like they are now in sealed boxes. I was thrilled then and am happy for you today.

Sold at the 2002 National. Still looking to replace the Babe.

My first relic was an '05 Cracker Jack Mini Relic of Christian Guzman.

First auto was an '05 Topps Total Terry Tiffee. You just never forget the firsts.

My first GU was a 2000 Upper Deck Game Ball Andruw Jones:

At the time it booked for $60, so we're talking huge big deal. Now, there's one on COMC for $2.50 ($1.63 after the sellers 35% A-A).

My first pack-pulled autos were from 1994 Signature Rookies. Only one I specifically remember was Paul Spoljaric, but I ended up with a few of them. I was enrolled in some kind of mail-order card club that gave me discounts on Signature Rookies products, and occasional "mystery boxes" full of Front Row mini-sets, oddball "promo" cards, and other junk that was cool for a 14 year old kid to have.

My first relic was a 2001 Pacific Private Stock Alex Gonzalez Jersey Card with teal pinstripe. It was pretty exciting even though each pack guaranteed a jersey. The first relic I pulled from a pack was a JD Drew bat card from Topps Fusion (2001?). First auto was Jose Vidro from 1999 UD MVP.
