Yes, I like 80's oddball items! I always found it odd that Beckett's checklist never matched up to the numbers on the pencils I had and that theirs only went to #18, when the pencils I had were numbered "of 36". This bugged me for years until I saw another auction for small lot of these pencils that featured a Ripken. Lo and behold this Ripken looked the same as mine (pictured below) but was labeled 2nd Series whereas mine was a 1st Series. All the other pencils in this lost were 2nd series and the numbers matched up to Beckett's list. So there are actually 2 Series of these pencils, 36 players in the first, and 18 in the second that feature many of the same players that are in the first. Sadly I lost the auction for the 2nd series Ripken. Anyone else have any of these? They don't pop up too often.

    I remember buying them from the school store (where students sold school supplies) when I was in elementary.
    Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards.
    Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.

    I remember I was conceived around the time these came out
