The 1980s

New publishers join the hobby, traded and update sets become a yearly habit, and collecting turns into a mainstream pastime. ACN separates base, traded and update sets with short, readable set tags, so every rookie and every late-season card has a number of its own. Browse by year to see the decade's sets laid out side by side, or search for a player to see every card of theirs ACN has listed, with the number for each one ready to copy.
