First pack of cards I ever bought on my own at the Little League snack bar. My first 2 cards were Oddibe McDowell and the Ruben Sierra record breaker card. I still PC Ruben Sierra. | ||
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 | ||
