Ditto. Only mine was the 87D. 1987 Topps, Donruss, & Fleer get a lot of flak (and deservedly so) -- but, all 3 remain among my all-time favorites.

This thread should should crack a smile for the tenured collecting guard; the are a lot of us (late 20's/mid 30's) that look forward to picking up the hobby torch.

I have no problem admitting to having a thin Gregg Jefferies binder standing alongside my 1920's Exhibits.

Looking forward to the National.....

I completely agree. BTW, I still have my Bo Jackson binder right with all my pre-war stuff. Although it's not that valuable, it's just as important to me as anything else in my collection..

This card is not that old but I picked it up at a card show and still don't know why but I like it.

The card with Jordan was a 1990-91 Hoops card of Sam Vincent. It was pulled from production and replaced with an alternate photo of Vincent, because they didn't want Jordan to be pictured in the 12 jersey. A pretty decent amount of them did make it out though.

1981 Topps Mickey Hatcher...had a complete set and the only card my dog at the time ate was the Hatcher...Took me about three months to pull another at my little league games. Since then, I have managed to acquire a small hoard of those (about 300)...of course if we are going by hoards of cards, I have nearly 1500 1981 Bob Boone cards...great pic, great catcher, great team.
