Love the images shown in this thread.
Thanks for the shout out Al.
Yes, The 1988 Topps Big set is my all-time favorite set of the 80's.
In fact I've taken this junk era, penny product to a new level as I've acquired, accumulated and even self submitted cards from this set for my PSA Registry examples.
Here's a link to where I am at to date:

The stellar front design, a homage I believe to the 1956 Topps set is off the charts. The color jumps off the cheap cardboard. Even the fact that this was released in 3 series and that each series had a border color designation is an indication that Topps, despite it's less than hearty popularity, put some effort into its lay-out.
The content is stellar too with lots of HOF'ers and major 80's stars of the day.
Although 89' and 90' to follow were neat, nothing tops the 88' Big set to me.
Here's a few scans to wet your whistle.
