$100 for an 86D Canseco is a good deal indeed...for the seller.

John... Appreciate you taking the time to post the listing; so nice to view. Of course I think there should be "multiple" Brooskie cards on the list, but other than that pretty good!

Having just acquired the 1967 Topps Brooks...I would agree with that! The SP and the horde story behind that card alone trumps several cards on this list. Of course, if this list was done today there would be several dropping off, and several added.

It's funny. As soon as I started reading the OPs starting statement I remembered this article in Beckett. It was the first time I ever really realized there was cards before the 80's and they looked awesome. I saw three cards on that list over 20 years ago that I thought maybe someday I might see one in person. Now all three in my personal collection. 53 Topps Satchell Paige, 53 Bowman Pee Wee Reese, and 48 Leaf Stan Musial.
Kind of odd I still haven't picked up that 86 Canseco though.

Loved seeing the Jerome walton. I started collecting in 1988, and got my first job at wild bills card shop in Crofton Md. I will never forget that 89 UD set and the crazy prices people were coming in paying for Jim Abbott, Todd Zeile, Dwight Smith, and of course Walton. I was only 13 at the time and got paid a box of 1989 topps per day I worked lol.

I wonder if anyone put this together as a set when the article was first written. Getting the 52 Mantle is always going to be a biggie...but it wouldn't surprise me if this was done or attempted. What a great idea. I just went thru and counted...I currently have 54/100. Some of the easy ones I don't have, and of course there are some biggies I would need...lol.
