Set You Had Most Fun Putting Together

Interesting you mentioned the effect the Redbacks had on you in the 1980's. They were the set that I recalled most distinctly from my childhood - something about the format: oddly ugly b/w photos of MLB stars on playing cards with round corners in two-card panels, yikes. Plus, the extra All-Star card in the wrapper with a deliciously rancid caramel candybar. What kid could ever forget that. However, no Mantle or Mays rookie cards in the set, so consigned to hobby obscurity. I'm still searching attics for the impossible elusive big-three unissued current all-stars.
