When Upper Deck perfected the chase card in 1989 (or was it 1990) it caused me to mostly stop buying cards in packs, and aimed me backwards (more than I had been), so I thank them for helping me accumulate a lot of cool old stuff, most of which isn't worth much, but sure is fun.
As an example, I discovered a new Bobby Doerr m114 variation today. Woohoo!

I think 1991 was the first autograph inserts but may be recalling wrong.
