I love this set too. It was a lot of fun collecting it and being fascinated by the Bump Wills variation.
I also learned the best way to store the cards as the picture shows. This was also the year I found my 1st LCS and got a card of my favorite player.

Great photo! Those 79's bring back a lot of great memories. I remember buying packs as a kid. The very first card I pulled out of a pack was Seattle Mariner Rick Honeycutt. He quickly became my favorite player! I still have that card along with my other favorite player at the time, Doug DeCinces.
