1988 K-Mart Memorable Moments


Year: 1988
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: K-Mart Memorable Moments box set
Set Type: Store Box set
Card Number: 33

The late 80's and early 90's were awash in store branded box sets.  The sets came in a pack that was about the size of a deck of cards.  So many of these were made that sets can still be found in the bargain bins of cards shops around the country.  But if you collect a star player that played during that time chances are they were in at least one and more likely multiple sets.  The 1988 K-mart set marked the middle of a 4 year run of consecutive sets put out by the company.  K-Mart put out a 20th Anniversary set in 1982 and then a 25th Anniversary set in 1987, with Memorable Moments in 1988, Dream Team in 1989, and Superstars in 1990.  Like most of the box sets the checklist is arranged in alphabetical order by last name, so Robin gets the last card in the set.  Robin's Memorable Moment was his 1982 AL MVP season.
