I also had about a million rookie cards of "can't miss" prospects Kevin Elster and Greg Jeffries around 1988.

B.Fisk

Billy Gogoloski

I own way too many Doug Frobel cards. He's my 'common man'

Can you say 'Gilligan'?

Doug Rau

Doug Drabek. Seems like he was in every pack I opened in the early 80's.

Be careful with Belanger. You are likely to get a dissertation on why Belanger should be in the Hall of Fame from a fellow board member!

I remember buying packs in 1976 with a friend and I swear there was a Pat Dobson - Traded card in every pack. That was our common.

I remember opening 1978 packs in Central Illinois, and getting lots of Yankees. Munson, Reggie, et al.

No one wanted Yankees in Central Illinois. I wanted Mumphrey, Brock, and John Denny and kept getting Reggie and Guidry.

I don't know if the distribution was erratic or what, but I know my Yankee section of my shoe boxes was 2x as full as any other team that year.
