1988 All-Stars: Feels like I should kick off every post from the era with Tony Gwynn. He led the league in hits (220) and average (.372) in his age 37 season (1997). Just wow.
I cannot remember where I picked these up, but I assume it was an eBay purchase last October. This set is a total of 64 cards with of course All-Stars from the NL and AL. I really enjoy the design which is very similar to what we saw in Donruss sets. Not sure I knew this set ever existed.
The backs may look simple, but they have plenty of the player's All-Star stats and other player information. I like them.
The NL and AL logos are favorite inclusions of mine on the All-Star sets. They are both iconic and need to be on more cards. I'm glad the managers were included.
I also got this Pop-Up and a Stan Musial puzzle piece. Pop-Ups are fun inclusions. I like this set and I'll pickup a complete set at some point at the right place.
