This collection for the 1996-1997 dropped to Romania a few years later, and I was able to almost complete it. I was selling newspapers in seventh and eight grade to afford buying the packs. I needed a few cards more and then I bought a pack. It was blue instead of red, but didn’t pay attention to that fact. Apparently, the blue packs were for the second part of the collection (numbers 151 and onwards). So I continued to get these two until I almost got the series completed, up to needing only one card, 283 - Sam Perkins.
Eventually, the series disappeared from the market and I was left with that missing one. When I started to be more serious about collecting cards and stickers, I was able to find the missing one on LastSticker, along with some special US-only series.
This is one of the best collections and is one of my most special.
