'85 Topps - best design of my lifetime
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 19 May 2007 03:02 (nineteen years ago)
92 Bowman 86 Topps with the huge letters
― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 20 May 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)
I'm also partial to mid-late 80's Topps, but I'm biased because I was collecting them at the time.
Man, does Schilling look like a pedo or what?
He looks younger now than he does in that picture!

One of those sets you can determine by looking at the cards' sides.
I think so, too. They are attractive and look just like actual baseball cards.
― Andy K, Monday, 21 May 2007 14:07 (nineteen years ago)
the schilling card is amazing - if it were in black and white it would be a dead ringer for one of those tobacco cards from 1891 or whatever
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 21 May 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

"I didn't even read the name of the guy who I posted... fucknig Rance Mulliniks? Is that even a name?
The fact thaT I don't recognize it makes me realize, maybe I didn't watch the Jays in '91."
He's one of the Colour guys for Rogers Sportsnet now! One of the reasons I watch games on mute.
― francisF, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)
I collected '90 '91, mostly upper deck. Does anyone have the multi-exposed Ken Griffey Jr. or Rickey Henderson card from back then? I remember those being my favourites, and the Holograms.
― francisF, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

For his 100th day of school tomorrow, my son has to bring in 100 of something, so I went into one of our closets and grabbed a stack of '89 Scores featuring Tim Teufel, Nick Esasky, Dickie Thon, Dan Pasqua, etc.

so i bought a few packs of 2010 cards today. one of them was a new line by Topps called Allen & Ginter. Visually very cool looking olde letter-press style design. included was a card for Ryan Kennelly (bench press world champ) and a mini card for, no joke, a camel.

I put this on order a few days ago:

I started buying cards the summer of '94, just as a) the strike triggered the unravelling of the entire industry, and b) the steroid era kicked in. For the trifecta, I especially loaded up on Juan Gonzalez and Albert Belle cards.
― clemenza, Thursday, 15 July 2010 13:11 (fifteen years ago)
haha...i started collecting in 1984/1985. right before the boom, i guess? still remember how a kid i traded w/ at the time really thought he got one over on me by trading a hank aaron forst year bowman for a dwight gooden (which i had two of anyways). good times.
just came across my jose canseco rookie w/ the peach fuzz stache the other day. there was a time when that was worth over a $100. good grief.

clearing room in the closet so that my beloved might move in meant having to thin out the ol' card collection that was sucking up too much space.
found a coupe of these guys while sorting through things:http://img.comc.com/zoom-back/fad4e24a-04e9-4e9c-9fb9-896e5f6d3774.jpg
obviously, i'm holding onto those ones.

pre-upper-deck at least, baseball cards were really not designed by what you would call "graphic designers"
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 22 October 2013 18:47 (twelve years ago)
Score '91 was the set that got me back into collecting. A nearby gas station was selling boxes for five or seven dollars. I bought a bunch of them trying to complete a set--I have four or five of those Chipper cards, plus lots of really, really valuable Juan Gonzalez and Albert Belle cards, two of the players from that beloved era who broke all of Babe Ruth's records and eventually went into the Hall of Fame.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 19:28 (twelve years ago)
where really, really valuable = $2.50
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 22 October 2013 19:45 (twelve years ago)
'91 Score was the set i collected most after '90 Topps. (Chipper is worth a few bucks now, as is the Mussina) – I think I have maybe 3/4 of the complete set from the '91 Score series. not sure why I picked that set, tho. maybe price. it's pretty schizophrenic as far as collections go... the 4-different colours and rookie/mvp cards that do not resemble the set at all (and the flag card?!).
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 22 October 2013 19:51 (twelve years ago)
holy shit - still going through the old cards and found a Jeter rookie i had no idea was mixed in with the riff raff!!
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 24 October 2013 02:20 (twelve years ago)
one of my favorite birthday presents as a kid was a box of '94 Flair (think that was Fleer's "deluxe" line). pretty gold lettering and crazy thick card stock.

― circa1916, Thursday, 24 October 2013 20:00 (twelve years ago)
Those first Flair sets ('93/94) were nice--think they contain the key Jeter/A-Rod rookie cards.
Thermo: the '90 Topps was the other set that gas station was trying to get rid of, so I bought three or four boxes of those, too. Last set with gum, I believe--I've got stained cards to prove it. Thomas and Sosa rookies.
