I was 12/13 years old in the summer of 1978. For whatever reason, I really went after that set strongly. I kept my cards by teams, so when I was keeping track of the cards I needed, I always had about 40 or so that I couldn't find. Then one day, a friend of mine tells me that the cards I am looking for are the ones on the Rookie Cards. Boy, I felt stupid. It turned out all I needed was Greg Luzinski and Jeff Burroughs. I got them in probably August in a late summer desperation purchase at the local Woolco. I finished 1980, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990. Now, it is just too costly to do it anymore. I miss those days. I still have my 1978's, so it is almost 40 years since I completed my first big set.
