If you were a sports fan in the 1980s and 90s, you likely remember Kenner Starting Lineup figures.  They were approximately the size of a G.I. Joe action figure and included a card of the player in the package.  I had several Starting Lineup figures during that time, but my favorite was Scottie.  Of course, the Scottie figure and card are now long-gone.  In a nod to my youth, I would at least like to track down the card someday.

How about you? Do you dream about sports cards? If so, what are you searching for? I would love to hear from you! Please leave your comments in the section below.
