The 87 Topps set has always been a favorite for me

There were some beautiful sets issued in the 1980s; it is OK to admit it...

One is a 1981 TCMA and 2 1990(close to 80's). These are by far my 3 favorite cards. Not just from that era but in my collection.
I still need to get the other 1981 TCMA Boggs version autographed. The 1990 Score Wade Boggs/Roger Clemens wrong back pair is by far may favorite cards and would not trade them for any other card(s) to keep. They are the only ones known to exist and I got them directly from Score back in the day. |

For some reason the first thing that went through my head on the Glavine is: Maybe he didn’t REALLY lose his 2 front teeth in a taxi accident. Those look pretty dicey even at that age, no? Maybe he fell washing his car?

I like 1983 Topps. I use them for autographs. The rest I think are ugly. My newest non autographed card is a 1975 Topps George Brett.

Appreciating 80's cards? I thought this was going to be a thread about the rise in value for cards from the 1980's.

If you had acquired the sets listed in post 4 in the year issued ( or not issued), your appreciation would be significant.

I was a huge fan of the 1983 Fleer set, and still like it best of the sets from that decade, along with the 1984 Fleers. Actually, I thought 1983 was a great year for cards all around.
What I liked most about Fleer was their innovation. Not all of these were first-time occurrences, but taken together they showed an attempt to create a better baseball card, IMO. 1) 1983 used team logos on card fronts for the first time in 18 years--I thought this enhanced the look dramatically. 2) Card numbers were in team order, with the World Series teams first to boot. I always sorted my cards by team, so it was an easier way to track and display. 3) The use of the non-white border was nice, especially a non-obtrusive tan. Things got crazy with Fleer and Donruss borders toward the end of the decade, but I liked the subdued look of 1983. 4) An emphasis on posed pics instead of action shots that barely showed the guy’s face. As a kid, I practically memorized what each guy looked like from his card–couldn’t do that very easily with “action” shots of that period. However, a confession–the Ripken and Sandberg cards are classic. 5) The backs. Vertical info is easier to read for me, the stock was white, the columns had shaded columns for differentiation, and they included a small b&w photo of the guy on the back as well. 6) Maybe I was just lucky, but the collation was 1000% better than Topps and Donruss. Buy a box of Fleer and you got few dupes–not so with the others. Of course, no one cares this many years later and with ebay making everything available, but back then it was a consideration for at least some of us.

I always liked the 1981 Topps baseball set due to the caps on the front (a look that was later emulated by the Japanese 1984 Calbee set, series 2 or 3). I also liked the 1981 and 1983 Fleer sets as well as the 1984 Donruss set, purely from a design perspective. 1984 was the last year I collected U.S. cards....

'88 Score and '88 Topps had some really cool photography. '83 was my first year collecting so I have a soft spot for Topps and Fleer. '84 & '85 Donruss were cool as well.

I also thought it would be cool if there was a set where the card numbers were determined by length of major league service. So the person with the most MLB time would be given card #1, and so forth.
