I remember attending a show maybe 1987 (I was 11 at the time) either in Austin or San Antonio and only wanting baseball cards like 1987 Fleer and 1987 Topps and I bought rack packs with my allowance and was so excited, and I passed (since I didn't collect this sport at the time) on a complete set of 1986 Fleer Basketball set for sale at or around $10. This guy had a stack of them in those large snap case holders. If I only knew then what I know now. But hey, I am sure I still have those 1987 cards that I opened somewhere at my parent's house since I thought those were the greatest sets ever.
