Just talked to my neighbor the other day and asked her if her son collected baseball cards when he was young. (He is 48)
She handed me a binder full of 90-91 UD hockey cards and she said these were the only cards he ever collected, and the only reason he did, was because a couple of his buddies told him to.
I think that mass buying happened more in those years than any other year if I am not mistaken?
