Yeah, that list about covers it.

Even though Pete Rose did not have a card produced in the 1980's that could beat those cards above, Rose cards were the king of the hobby in the 1980's.

This is the cool part of the hobby. We all remember the 80s differently. I can't imagine anyone I knew even wanting a Pete Rose card in the 80s.

I pretty much remember the 80s being very similar to modern now. The dollar amounts were way smaller but it was a game of hot potato with the rookie cards like now.
