I was 12/13 years old in the summer of 1978. For whatever reason, I really went after that set strongly. I kept my cards by teams, so when I was keeping track of the cards I needed, I always had about 40 or so that I couldn't find. Then one day, a friend of mine tells me that the cards I am looking for are the ones on the Rookie Cards. Boy, I felt stupid. It turned out all I needed was Greg Luzinski and Jeff Burroughs. I got them in probably August in a late summer desperation purchase at the local Woolco. I finished 1980, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990. Now, it is just too costly to do it anymore. I miss those days. I still have my 1978's, so it is almost 40 years since I completed my first big set.

Nobody can spell Yaz?@#!%&*ski including the printer of the set. Does he really deserve kudos for being average?

Papa Gino's was long before all the wood fired artisanal goat cheese arugula wildcrafted stuff that passes for pizza these days. Growing up my kids liked it much better than Domino's which IMO was truly horrible.

I completed two sets of 1955 Topps in '55 and '56 without knowing it. I thought I was four cards short on both.

But my point still stands with respect to Yaz. By the way were Yaz and Klu related?

I collected the 1961 Topps set as an 11-year-old, more or less one pack at a time with my allowance. Still have the set.

No but he was related to Maz. And both liked jazz.
