Lots of great early '80s cards there. I may need your help with picking the Padres' All-Time Team, since you know so much about the history of the franchise.
In 1981, I was a elementary school aged kid living in San Jose who was blossoming into a diehard A's fan. At this point, I hadn't heard the name, Tony Gwynn. Rickey Henderson was hands down my favorite player until Gwynn supplanted him a few years down the road.
