$\textbf{Hint:}$ From your definition of pair (which is not the standard definition of what a pair is), each card only has one pair. Split the cards into $2$ decks, $26$ cards each, so that each card in deck $1$ has a pair in deck $2$. How many ways can you pick $7$ cards so that there are no pairs?
