1986 Topps
Like a couple of others have said, mine was the 1986 Topps set. I don't think any of the particular cards were the key to getting me hooked though. During that summer I was 11 and spent a lot of time with my grandparents. My grandmother was helping me by buying packs and trying to complete the sticker album. On the sticker backs there was an offer to send in 100 or so backs and $10-15 for a complete 1986 set. Grandma wrote out the check and helped me package up the backs. Seems like it took forever but when that complete set arrived I could not believe it. I still have the set and have even sent off and received some of them as TTM autos. The set is in a binder like a prized possession to this day with autographs sprinkled throughout.
