What was the card that started it all for your player collection?

This is the one for me...

I honestly dont remember my first Luther Head card. Probably a Press Pass or some auto of him in an Illini Uniform.

However, my Aaron Poreda collection came from my only box break of 07 BCDP. I opened it and didnt want to want to get jacked by pulling a $10 auto and nothing else. So I decided to dump another $3k into his cards.
 
The story behind my Tyrus PC.

I've been a lifelong Bulls fan, and after being spoiled by the Jordan Dynasty, the down years were tough. I still cheered for my team, but it was frustrating and there wasn't much excitement. My collecting as a whole slowed down too b/c I was in college and funds were limited.

As the Bulls finally started their trek toward revelance (the same time I was finishing school), they had the #2 pick in the '06 Draft. I had just finished watching Tyrus have an awesome NCAA tournament as a freshman, and he was packed with excitement value. I really wanted them to draft him, and when they traded their pick to get him at #4 I was pumped.

Shortly into the season, I checked eBay and landed myself my 06-07 SPGU Significant Numbers Jsy/Auto /24 for about $60 or so and the PC started.
(i'll post my pick later, unless someone wants to get it from my bucket)

I had been out of collecting for years. My first Christmas with the wife and kids was in 2005. I bought a couple of Topps blasters from Target for me and my stepson, and in it was

From that point on I was on the bay getting every Warrick in sight within reason!
