Those pics are nice. Thanks! Those Tiffany cards just pop, front and back. Looks really cool in the binder! That 87 set was the last great base set Topps produced, in my humble opinion. If anyone out there has an 87 Tiffany set they wanna part with..let me know. I'll post in the buying section as well.

Thanks, Vinnie. Best of luck finding a set you like!

I had a cup of coffee with '86 Topps but I exploded onto the scene with '87 Topps, winning ROY. I can still remember being 10 years old and stuffing my jacket pockets with stacks of '87 Topps to bring to school to trade with my friends.

I still have a Pavlovian response to the Gary Carter card, since that was the one on every wax box. I've bought numerous Tiffany sets and gotten many PSA 10s. Still have some work to do but I consider that set a lifelong affair so I'm in no rush.

Just hope I don't get drunk and get any kind of '87 Topps tattoo.

Hope the tattoo idea does not reach that crew in Phoenix

My kids and I are putting together a set from packs just for fun. They love the design. We have opened 2 wax boxes so far, and have about 600 of the cards needed. I bought a group of about 20 racks to supplement to see how far we can go. It has been a hoot. Seeing some of my childhood favorites has been fun. All-Stars, Record Breakers, the Canseco, the McGwire, the Gooden, the Clemens...lots of good stuff.

The OP raises an interesting question...which 1980's set has the most HOF cards in it? 1986 has a high number. What about 87? 87 would probably win if it weren't for the steroid guys- Bonds, Canseco, McGwire, Palmerio being the notable ones. Does anyone know the answer?
