1987 Star Don Mattingly Baseball Forum

I see the print run is listed at 1000.  Are sealed sets marked with a serial number?

In the attached photo, I have a sealed set with "344" sticker on the front.  I can't tell whether this set is glossy or not (it is hard to tell through the plastic bag), but other '87 Star sealed sets I see on eBay do not have the sticker.  This is leading me to believe it could be one of the glossy sets.  In addition, I have another Star set ('88 Platinum Mattingly) that I got at a different time that uses the same type of sticker (but also notes "of 1000" rather than just a number).

Any help would be appreciated!

In the early days of Star Co., that was the method used for "serial numbering" the glossy sets. That should be a glossy set in there.

Is that your handwriting from the day?

No, my handwriting was always terrible. Anything on the gold stickers would be the owner or his wife.

The pink "You Won Stuff" cards from the non-sports "wax" products was my mom's handwriting.

Thanks for the help! I got this in a collection I purchased and wasn't expecting a glossy set, definitely a nice surprise!
