1987 Topps. I was 12 that year and it was the first set I ever tried to build by hand. Got about half way there, but had just as many doubles. Gave up but then got the boxed set for Christmas. And that Bo Jackson Future Stars card....love it.
Someday I’ll buy an unopened box on eBay (30 bucks?) just to see if I can pull another Bo. Good memories of that set. Love the wood grain.
Of course, then I’ll have to figure out what to do with all those commons. Would it be frowned upon if I admit that I’ve been slowly chucking my 80’s and 90’s junk wax common cards into the recycle bin as the years go by?
