I’d managed to put together every upper deck baseball set from 1989-2000.

1989 Upper Deck was so much better than anything else out there, I bought a lot of it. I had several unopened boxes of Hi and Low packs, a bunch of loose ones, and bought Ken Griffey Jr’s whenever I saw one at a reasonable price. All were stolen in a burglary except maybe the KGs but I’m not sure where those are. I was digging through boxes today and saw my OJ Simpson rookie card and an assortment of Jeff Reardon cards I collected.

In the same junk box, I saw a Bear Who? pin probably from his last appearance in Tiger Stadium and a pin from when we played USC @ USC in 1985. It was for USC fans and said “Tiger Busters” and had a beat up Tiger in a red circle with the red slash through it. Also had a couple of stadium cups from 1997 Florida at TS with blades of grass painted purple and gold in it. I think I pulled those from the end zone.

ETA: Box also contained a Warren Morris tshirt from a promotion the Tulsa Drillers had.
