The 1989 Project

And so the project rolls onward…

The concept of the 1988 Project was to acquire every 1988 traded/rookies set, examine key players, and look at the team performance from that year. Why 1988? Because it marked the beginning of my collecting days. 1989 was an important year, as well, as my collection gathered steam.
