I'd like to say Hello to all

[ALR-bishop]

Welcome Eric. There are some fairly tough 1980s Topps "junk era" sets, including 1982 Blackless, 1984 Encased, 1985 Minis and 1989 Big Floating Heads

It is ok to be weird here. In fact I think it may be some kind of requirement.

+1 ...what Al said. Good luck in the quest

see... thats why I need this forum and you guys! I've never even heard of those! A couple quick searches and I see what you are talking about. This is great! I've just completed a 1984 build from a couple of hand collected sets and 3 wax boxes. I sorted them all, then pulled the best centered, colored, edged... for a set. Pulled all the star/desirable cards, and just sort of boxed the rest. I still have them though. That sure brings some new life to some old, uninteresting cards. Ill probably research it out, go through my cards, and blog about it. Thanks so much for the comment!
