The player you always find in your pack

[JTysver]

In 1979 Miguel Dilone seemed to be in every pack. By the time I'd accumulated 500 total cards, I'd had 47 Miguel Dilones.

In 1980 I was still getting that damned 1979 Miguel Dilone in my pack. By the time I'd accumulated 500 1980 Topps, I'd had 32 1979 Miguel Dilones in my stack.

For 17 straight years I was pulling the dreaded 1979 Miguel Dilone out of packs.

Fast forward to 1997. I can only assume the Topps company ran out of the Miguel Dilones. I heard some buyer out of Brunswick, New Hampshire bought all of them up and decided to corner the market on them. Unfortunately, I'd accumulated a total of 832 of them. More than enough to fill an 800 count box, so I wound up selling the 32 extra cards to the New Hampshire guy.
