I did that with the 1994 set. Got all three series with the folder last year or the year before.
Not childhood for me but 1994 was the one year between 1982 (when I stopped collecting) and 2017 (when I started again) where I had a genuine crack at trying to put a set of anything together. It got too frustrating in the end as I'd buy six packs and not one card could be added to the set. Expensive stuff trying to put a set together pre-internet and no one to trade with.
I pulled 3 of those gold cards from S1....and sold them all in a 3 card lot for $20 in 2015. I wouldn't mind them back. It's tempting to have a go at trying to get the chase cards in that year - minus the gold autos from S1 which seem super pricey.
Come 1995 I'd put it all behind me and considered the whole card business an interruption to normality.
Now I'm well and truly in it like never before.
