Coolest <$1 (or $2) cards

[frankh8147]

Cool focus! You need...

1. 1987 Donruss Greg Maddux (tied with his 1987 Leaf rookie)-both can be bought for that price if you take your time.
2. What team do you root for?.. Buy the Donruss Diamond Kings cards of all the players on your team who appeared in this set (especially early 80's examples)
3) the Nolan Ryan that appeals to you and..
4. The Reggie Jackson card that appeals to you (both from this time period; there are a lot of cool cards of both)
5. and 6. 1987 Topps and Fleer Greg Maddux..."is this list biased?"- don't know what you're talking about...
7.a cheap Barry Bond Rookie card (i.e. 1986 Topps, and 1987 rookie)
8. A nice 1987 McGwire card: 1987 Donruss, Fleer, ETC..
9,10,11,12- an early 80's Pete Rose, or Tom Seaver, or Johnny Bench, or whichever player you like from this time period!

Most importantly, have fun! This is my personal list but if you find your 'groove' go with it! I think this is a great period to collect- a lot of great players for very little money can be collected here; have fun!
