One of my favorite sets--thanks for the youtube link Rhett. Would like to learn where you find the mylar sleeves you use for the binders.

Like Adam said, you really gotta love the Horner photos. My only complaint is the company's decision to spurn quality pitching, especially in the base E254 set (the E270s are of less interest to me). Like Val said, no Wajo. No Matty, Mordecai, Chief, Eddie, Marquardt or Willis. Still, the Cy is classic, as is the Joss, and multiple Waddells are a cool touch.

I really like the mix of major and minor league players--some very obscure-- and the round shape actually appeals to me. I picked this set all those years ago in some ways because I was looking for one that could not easily be altered--especially trimmed. I don't pursue them as actively as I should anymore, but they have always been among my favorites to look at. Here's a possible rookie and error card rolled into one:
