1987 Topps is extremely popular for the design among the modern crowd, more than I realized.

2018 Topps Update is pretty big among the ultramoderns.

I think the difference here is that it is a few rookie cards being currently hyped by investors. In 10 years it will be forgotten when nobody cares anymore beyond 1 or 2 rookies, like 2001 Topps. To be iconic, I think there needs to be some historical import to the set beyond "happens to have rookie of X in it, pump it".

Not as appreciated as the 89 UD set but I’ve always thought the 1993 Pinnacle set was one of the best looking sets of the era.

Thanks for the explanations, I did not really piece the connection to prospecting. The insight is appreciated!
