This is the first set I really remember opening and "chasing" a card...getting my hands on the Bo Jackson Future Stars card made me feel like a millionaire!

This was the first set I collected in mass quantities. Picked up packs wherever I went as a kid. Great memories

With out question my favorite set of the 1980s, and what a throwback to the 1962 set! This release is jam packed with HOFers and a diverse rookie class. It's a must-have for collectors.
