This is the first set I remember buying and opening myself. I used to walk down to Gary Walters house which was in my neighborhood. When I was like 12 years old I would go with Gary to many card shows and I would help him get set up. I was regularly paid in packs which was cool with me because if I got cash I would have just bought packs from him anyway. Gary did most of his business through mail order and shows don't know how many hours I spent opening vending boxes and sorting them by number. Wish I would have started a few years earlier Because I was in the major junk wax era. Was a great experience for me. | ||

This is the first set I remember collecting, I was 11. I stopped collecting in 1988 and I just started again, from 0, in Dec. 2018.
