1984 Topps

I wonder why Topps changed from it's prototype head in the box design to the final head outside the box design ?

Thinking outside the box?

Al, I think the head outside the box just looks better, the other way cuts off the tops of the players heads.

This is a great thread!

I have a few 80's sets in binders. I have several cards worth more than all the binder sets combined. I do like the vintage cards but looking through those binders puts a bigger smile on my face than any vintage card ever could.

I heard/read about how great the older players I collect were but never got to go to a game and see them. Those players in the binders give me that big smile because I was lucky enough to see them play in person. When flipping through those binders I will run across some average player and remember some crazy play I got to watch them make while at a game.

Whenever I see an '84 Topps Mattingly or Strawberry, I still find myself pausing just a second longer and handling them like they are the most delicate of treasures.

I feel exactly the same! I have a high stress career, and to come home and flip thru my 83 Topps Baseball or 82 Topps Football that I collected when I was a kid...just makes me smile and gives me peace.

I agree cool looking set

and when you come to those " rookie crazy " days of 1984...yea, you pause for a second when you pass the Strawberry card ,etc... and cringe at what you paid , or your master plan to get 10 or each, or some other 1984 baseball card fad !! still good ole days I guess
