Hmm.. don't remember my first card, but I do remember this one pull.
It was after school and I had just gotten an A for an assignment; I think it was 5th grade. I made a deal with my parents that for every A I got a booster pack (awesome right?? After they realized how much each pack was, the deal was quickly forgotten), and we headed to the place nearest my house that sold Pokemon booster packs - a Blockbuster. I ask for a pack and the guy hands me one. I go home, open it, and lo and behold: CHARIZARD!!! I was screaming around the house, calling my best friend, singing, dancing, etc. It's one of my best poke-memories and one of the few pulls I remember.
