I guess the biggest bummer of this time period for me was trading away "boring" safe players for the next big thing. I traded a Topps Clemens Rookie for the aforementioned UD Van Poppel (gosh that name was fun though). I also unloaded a stack of Maddux rookies after he went to the braves. It seems I've had a bunch of cards that I'm in the process of buying back now. Bonds rookies, Boggs Rookies, etc. When I came back to collecting, the only thing I found among my stacks of Jeffries, Raines, and later Tim Salmon (puke) were Griffey Jr. Rookies. I guess he was adequately hyped or I wouldn't have kept him.
BTW the only true grail of the 80's is that Billy Ripken Error. It's by far my favorite card of all time. I think I read that it sold for 300 bucks somewhere. As I would have said in the 80s, that's radical dude.
