A case can be made the 1980 Rickey Henderson was the most iconic card thru the 1980’s and if it wasn’t the Henderson then I think it was the Canseco rated rookie and there’s no doubt at its peak the Canseco was more popular than the Henderson at its peak. Also outside of the Ripken and Gwynn rookies nothing even come close thru the decade.
Don Mattingly would like to see you in the school yard at 3PM.
An excellent case can be made for Mattingly and his 84 Donruss, but I’d actually choose the 1984 Fleer update Roger Clemens a spot ahead of Mattingly.
For the player comparison: Clemens won 2 Cy Young’s and an MVP with a World Series appearance by 1987 while Mattingly won 1 batting title and an MVP with no Series appearances.
For the card comparison the 1984 Fleer Update is the one and only clear Rookie card for Clemens while Mattingly has a very popular Topps card that was initially more popular when the 2 came out in 84.
Stop trying to talk your way out of and be in the schoolyard at 3.

In 1987 mailed this Fleer card to the A's for an auto...... I'm going to assume that someone else with nice penmanship signed it. Haven't seen any similar.....
Wasn't his twin brother Ozzie doing Jose's autograph signings for a while?
Ha forgot all about Ozzie Canseco. Man, that '89 Upper Deck High Series was just dark matter hot when it came out. I bet if scientists could hook probes up to collectors brains at card shows when that series dropped their brains would look like crack addicts' brains.

I bought a BGS 10 about 12 years ago for $200. Still have it. Things are looking good!!!
That 1986 Donruss card was more popular then even compared to any Trout card today.
I absolutely love seeing this. My favorite since 1988. I need a Fleer 1986 PSA 10 if anyone has one to sell.
