I pulled so many Chipper Jones RC's opening these boxes in 1991. craigrrules wrote: 1991 Topps for me. That was my first box that I ever opened and got me into collecting.

1970 Topps Baseball because they were the first ones I bought on my own at the local Ben Franklin store. I wonder if any Ben Franklin stores exist any more? Oh, if I only had all of them in my collection! ------------------------------- rjsahl (Randy)

This.

And 1990 Donruss, 1990 Upper Deck and 1992 Fleer Ultra.

Aaand 1992 Bowman BB, FB and HK.

Intense memory stimulation from the smell of these cards. 1990 Pro Set FB and HK come pretty close too.

1991 Stadium Club baseball. Every time I get some in a trade, I can absolutely see myself standing at the LCS counter amazed at the photos I'm pulling out of the packs.

And I *still* love looking at the RC photos on the back.

1989 Topps. I can still rember the feel of freshly opened pack and the smell of the gum

HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, Baltimore Ravens, and a few Baltimore Colts.
1954-1968, 1977, 1997-2023 Topps baseball sets, including updates. I'm on a mission to complete Topps sets, so no trade is too large! Here is my Topps Set Completion Status List.
I have 50,600+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples).
