Moving up to the next year as I go through my collection bringing me to 1985. I started broadcasting school that year and by December I was interning at the local NBC affiliate in Bangor, Maine. Clemens and Puckett's first mainstream cards appeared for the first time that year and this post is heavy with them. Here you go. Nine cards from my collection all released in 1985.
