Greetings all! Just joined after finding the site mentioned on a couple of YouTube videos.
This was the first set I remember opening, and my favorite card in that set was always Bucky Dent. As a Cubs fan there is no reason it should be, but there was something about having a card of that guy who hit the homerun against the Red Sox that struck a cord with me.
I've been hooked ever since!

How can you not love the baseball cap design and 'Topps baseball' logo? I was always searching for Yankee cards with the pink bubble gum borders, hoping each one found would be a Reggie!
