When I began collecting in the mid 1980s i only cared about the cards from packs I was ripping.

I began collecting in '88-'89. Starting out it was packs upon packs which evolved into building a team set and further building a base set. I don't think I started focusing on certain players until a couple of years later. I remember when a kid would have the latest of someone (i.e. Will Clark) it was more desirable than getting an older card of that same player. A kids mind at work I guess.
