There was also debate about whether cards of players whose first card was in the Traded sets (for example, '83 Strawberry), as well as first individual cards of players who had already appeared on "future stars" cards ('81 Valenzuela, '82 Ripken) were "legitimate" because they were not available in packs, only in full sets (which were only sold to the hobby market - another potential strike).
