#81 1962 Topps Lou Brock RC

"Brock caused havoc whenever he reached base..."

#82 1981 Topps Joe Charboneau

"Referred to so often as the downside of RC hype that he has become a living cliche'."

#83 1981 Fleer Graig Nettles "C" Error

"Fleer returns to the card market and becomes immediately known for an error card."

"The best RC of the best all around player in the game today."

#86 1977 Topps Andre Dawson RC

"...among the classiest players to swing a bat..."

#87 1990 Upper Deck Reggie Jackson Auto Card

"This was the first high profile autographed chase cards. The concept worked, and worked well."

#88 1978 Topps Eddie Murray RC

"...an intelligent man..."

#89 1985 Donruss Kirby Puckett RC

"He is fun to watch, isn't he? Store this card in a bulletproof, nuclearproof, screwdown holder!"

#90 1991 Topps Stadium Club Frank Thomas

"Hobbyists waited hoping pack prices would plummet. They didn't."

#91 1982 Fleer John Littlefield Error (Reversed Negative)

"Whoops! It remains one of the most rarest error cards in existence."

#92 1983 Topps Wade Boggs RC

#93 1987 Donruss Opening Day Barry Bonds Error

#95 1987 Fleer Will Clark RC

#96 1974 Topps Willie McCovey "Washington Nationals"

#97 1983 Topps Tony Gwynn RC

"...first card of a great player..."

#98 1989 Upper Deck Jerome Walton RC

#99 Upper Deck Dale Murphy Reversed Negative

#100 1992 Bowman Frank Thomas

"Hype or reality? Whatever, it's the key card in a developing set..."





Sorry for some of the after post war cards...but I couldn't exclude them from this list. I'd say if a published list of the top 100 post war cards currently it would be a bit different! #1 would still be the same...
