I remember when my goal was to collect all eight of Sammy's RCs. Once I displayed and mounted them in my office I used to joke about how if the house was burning down that set was the most valuable thing I owned, and it probably was at that time in my Life! I have since traded away all my dupes at way under the value I got them for. Imagine if he'd actually failed a drug test! All in all, it was fun back then when players had multiple companies putting out RCs and there were still less than ten cards for the "superstars". Funny, that practice was barely 20 years ago.
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.
