It's not a secret if everyone knows it, now is it?
Also, I foolishly tried to complete that 1989 Tops set, pack by pack. I ended up selling all my baseball cards in 1990, but did end up buying a complete set of 1989 Topps BB for $8 about 2 years ago.
Sal, funny you mention this set. The hobby shop near me recently put out a box of jumbo packs for 75 cents a piece, and I foolishly thought I'd hand collate this one too. Got about half way through and haven't bought any in quite some time. I should've spent the 8 bucks for a set like you did and moved on!
