Both are great cards. At least you got Ryno!

Yep, nostalgia is pretty much an irresistible force for me. Congratulations on filling in some of those childhood biggies the last few years. Collect on, and have fun!

I remember in 1987ish, as an 11 year old, I had a somewhat well off friend. Parents bought him everything. I got a Kmart bike. He got a Mongoose. I got an original Nintendo. He got a full size pin ball machine. I got the 1987 base Topps set (don’t get me wrong, I was greatful for it). He got the 1983 & ’84 Topps Traded sets. Plus, the ’84 Fleer Update. I remember him showing me that XRC Strawberry specifically. I was in awe of the early Topps Traded & ’84 Fleer Update ever since. Back in those days (pre-internet), you couldn’t find these R.C.s & sets if your life depended on it. Almost legendary. As a kid, I couldn’t of afforded em even if I did find em. In fact, he was the only person I knew that had em for many, many years. Fast forward to this last year (I got back into collecting, but vintage 50’s/60’s maybe 5 years ago), I was finally able to nab the ’81 thru ’84 Traded sets. And the two flagship ’84 Updates, Clemens & Puckett, via online of course. It’s just taken me 30+ years to finally do it. Ahhh, the power of nastolgia!

The 81s were rough across the board, but at least Fleer and Donruss had the excuse of being first-year issues.

Same here. Not my favorite but always liked his swagger … reminded me of a western or something.
