1985-92 baseball cards - any worth looking for?

[Runscott]

A friend's son has a pretty huge pile of 1985-92 baseball cards (a quick look by me showed Topps, Fleer, Fleer minis). I told him that most were probably worthless, but I would like to be able to provide him with a list of cards worth culling out. Anyone have suggestions?

89 Fleer Billy Ripken. Any Bonds Rookies. Any Fleer glossy or topps tiffany sets. Clemens and Puckett rookies...

man remember Hensly Bam Bam Muelons rookie was the card to have!

[Beatles Guy]

Long shot, but 1990 Topps Frank Thomas "no name on front". '89 Upper Deck Griffey Jr. rookie comes to mind as well.

[Shoebox]

Maddux and Randy Johnson rookies and I would grab any Bo Jackson RCs but that's just me.

I would add the 89 Fleer Randy Johnson incase he has any of the Marlboro error variations. If by chance he has a 89 Fleer Wade Boggs I would be interested in any with out the black dot after the words THROWS RIGHT on the card back.

The '85 McGwire Olympic cards still sell, although at a fraction of the $120 price tag that they once commanded back in 1998-99.

Thanks - you guys are great! I'll give him this list and maybe he'll report back with some interesting finds.

Not alot to add, pretty much covered anything I'd be interested in.

Btw, my understanding is that the 89 Fleer Billy Ripken has a ridiculous # of variations, something like 10. My favorite is of course the original...

Here's a lost of the 1991 Topps variations/errors to look for.....

...and don't forget to pick out any 1991 Topps Desert Shield cards.....they would definitely be keepers - even the commons.
