I do have to give it to Pro Set for doing one thing in particular. It finally gave linemen, punters, and kickers a chance to get cards made of them again.

When Topps went down from 528 cards to 396 in a set in 1983, it did make sets easier to put together, but it also made the sets focus largely on glamor positions.

Pro Set made a card of pretty much everybody they could find, and set the tone for larger sets that lasted quite a while.

It makes me miss Topps Total. I mean, where else are you going to get a Jerry Rice as a Bronco?
