30 Day Challenge, Day 3

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!  MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!

And now, back to the challenge; a card from the first set you tried to complete


1985 Topps was the first set I tried to complete.  I bought and opened a lot of packs that year.  At some point I realized I had an awful lot of them and got the idea to see if I could get them all.  Perhaps it was the checklists that lured me in?  I had a couple of friends with whom I regularly traded, and for the first time found myself trading for cards of players that I had no interest in or even greatly disliked.  That wasn't very fun!  So the next year I started buying complete sets from the start.  I never did get the whole 1985 set completed that way.  But a little later in life I did buy the set complete, leaving me with all those doubles.
