Whenever I used to visit your country back in those days, I would always search the big chain stores for their exclusive baseball card sets like this one. I've got a whole shoebox full of these sets. I've got Topps sets from Woolworth, Toys R Us, Kmart, Hills, Ames, Kaybee Toys and 4 different Fleer sets (they don't say where they were sold), but not the set in the video, probably because I've never seen a McCrory store before. I've got 24 different sets like this, but not 1987 Fleer Baseball's Best. Trivia for you: Do you know what was the 1st of these kind of sets? McGwire's rookie card is 1985 Topps (shown as a member of Team USA), Incaviglia = In-ka-veel-ya, Canseco's rookie cards are 1986 Fleer and Donruss; he's also in 1986 Topps Traded, but not the regular 1986 Topps set.
@Hockeytube193 күн бұрын
That’s right! I even built that 85 Topps set with McGwire in there. Yeah, I have some of these Kmart sets, they were cheap and fun to buy as a kid. I never heard of McCrorys before either until researching this.
