1989 Topps Big baseball cards 1st series

The Topps BIG baseball set is based very loosely on the 1956 Topps set. They are the same size and orientated landscape as were the '56 set. So could this be considered as a retro set?

Just like its 1988 counterpart it was released in 3 separate series. The 1988 released in 3 sets of 88 cards, however the 1989 set was much bigger and released in 3 sets of 110 cards. Series 1 being cards #1-110, series 2 cards #111-220 and the series 3 cards #221-330.

The packs contained 7 cards and were wrapped in cellophane.   

The Red Sox available from this set were:

Series 1

#18 Jim Rice

#42 Roger Clemens

#72 Rich Gedman

#97 Jody Reed

Series 2

#42 Roger Clemens Red Sox

#84 Fred Manrique White Sox

Wow 2 out of the possible 4 Red Sox in series 1, that is great odds.
