And do you guys still have your collections?
I still have most of my stuff and actually added a lot to the collection a couple years ago with some nice deals on ebay. I remember 94-96 being the best years. The biggest collections I remember were Fleer (these were big in 94-96), Flair (these were seen as more "premium" cards with more expensive packs and cards printed on thicker paper), Marvel Masterpiece, and Marvel Metal. It was so much fun collecting and trading with friends.
I gotta wonder why DC cards didn't get big during the same time, though. I'm not even sure if DC was making cards back then, which is a head scratcher.
