In today’s hobby, its not that common to see an entire product based on a single individual. You might see it done with a certain team, but rarely with one person. Back in the 80’s, manufacturers made all kinds of trading card sets for specific celebrities including Michael Jackson. In 1984 Topps released a set [...]
