My mom was notoriously cheap and wouldn't buy those for me. Then when I was a teen, my little sister went through a love affair with E.T. and wanted all the trading cards,...and mom started buying them! I cried foul and mom also bought E.T.trading cards for me. It didn't really make up for the lack of KISS or Star Wars cards a few years before. But I still have my entire set of E.T. cards tucked away in a drawer.
Fear the monkeybat!
Hmmmm....

Well for me I think the Partridge Family were the first that I really collected along with Wacky Packages. After that it was almost everything:
Star Trek ( 1976 )
Star Wars
Charlie's Angels
Superman The Movie
Empire Strikes Back
Hulk tv series
A-Team
Superman 2
Return of the Jedi
Battlestar Galactica
Batman ( the 1st movie )
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
King Kong
Almost everything is gone now. My collecting ended during the Return of the Jedi. Those were good times and I've been thinking about them recently myself and was think about doing a post about them. It was so much fun being able to go to a local Mom & Pop store and pick up a pack of cards, sports or non sports for .15 -.35 cents a pack. Now-a-days IF you can find cards being sold somewhere, they cost $2.00 - 3.00 a pack - the fun of being a kid is gone, it's a collector world now in cards and toys.
He who dies with the most toys wins!

"Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."
i still have my cards too. they're all beat up though!
Believe or not in 78/79? when Star Wars cards were all the rage I used to trade other kids in the back of the school bus for Battlestar Galactica cards the other kids thought I was nuts

Thinking about going to this card show this weekend...never been to it before, but since they moved it to Allentown I might give it a try, see if I can complete a couple sets:
