My collectables were action hero cards (Van Damme doing splits, Schwarzenegger in Predator, Rocky flexing, etc) we got through random gum packages or some other little candy packing (I was maybe 9-10 in early 90s when this was popular, so not super sure). We traded and collected and I'm pretty sure I have the whole 50 cards or so still in a little baggie somewhere in storage.
I also remember Cincin... so perhaps that was where I got them too. Cheers! (from a transplant from Albania)
EDIT: Looking at those series of pics you linked to, I can say I do remember them. My friends collected them. It was the biggest thing happening in our lives.
Everybody was collecting them. What a shame he wasted such an amazing talent with drugs.
I’m a little sad that one of my childhood heroes is gone.
Hasta siempre, Diego Armando Maradona!
