BOX SET BOOM

K-MART BOX SETS OF THE 1980s

Remember the boxed set boom of the 1980s and early 1990s?

It was all the fun of baseball card collecting without the hassle of opening packs and wondering who you were going to pull. Alright, so maybe it’s not hard to see why they fell by the wayside…

Still, while most of those sets hold little value these days as a result of mass production, they make the perfect oddball addition for single player or team collectors, not to mention the nostalgia factor.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be taking a look back at some of the memorable boxed set series of that era, starting with the K-Mart boxed sets.

ere were a total of five boxed sets released by K-Mart, with the first coming in 1982 in celebration of the store’s 20th anniversary.
