I have been pulling together as many 85 topps over the past month as I can. I am bound and determined to finish this set. I think with the Clemens, Mcgwire and Puckett rookie cards this set is one of the best of the 80's. If anyone wants to start up this set with me I will try to help as much as I can. I am hoping someday we can have a registry and thread as good as the one the 84 Donruss guys have started. Thanks _Tb

I'll have to go through my set again and see how many aren't that nice.
<< <i>I think in the next few years as collectors see the potential for this set that the unopened supply will fall drastically. >>
This is a very true statement. When the registry started taking off, I was buying a lot of late 70's and 1980 Topps vending boxes and cases. They were everywhere. Nowadays they are a lot tougher to find. Once people really start diving into a set, the unopened material dries up quickly.
<< <i>I wish I knew if Porkchopper(#1 in the set) was an active participant on these boards I would really like to talk to him about this set. >>
Your wish is granted!
I've been a fan of the 1985 Topps baseball set ever since it's release. What has made me more of a fan of the 1985 Topps set is that it contains the first Topps card of my favorite player, Kirby Puckett.
There aren't too many collectors of the 1985 Topps baseball set on the Registry right now, but in the future this set probably will be (and should be) looked upon by collectors as one of the most underrated gems of the 1980's.
Thank you for starting up a thread here for us 1985 Topps baseball collectors, now all we need is some scans of these cards to drool over!!!
Here is my most prized 1985 Topps Puckett, a PSA 4. It shows that someone really enjoyed their cards, with the corners messed up and whatnot. But more importantly, it reminds me of my very first Puckett card, which I was unable to locate in my childhood card collection at my parent's house. I wish I would have found it because if I had, it would most likely have garnered the prestigious PSA 1.
Enjoy!
When that set is right it is beautiful. I have noticed a big difference in color and print quality from card to card. There are many where the color is amazing, almost like a tiffany finish. When you can get them like that the color jumps at you and makes it a gorgeous set.
Anyone remember when Odibe McDowell's card was worth more than McGwire's ?
Or how bout this one......it is actually the Pettis' younger brother who posed for the card....

I am really hoping that you will make your set visible soon, I would love to see it, But I understand why if you dont.
I just had three Puckett Rookies grade Gem Mint, Sold two on E-bay
Good luck and stay in touch
Coolstufffast has a few on the bay and you can submit a best offer with him to get them a little cheaper.
Come on and join the fun !
I did not know that about the Pettis card, interesting..........
<< <i>Sea Bass, Let me know if you need any 9's, I am currently selling a few of my dupes on E-bay. As I upgrade I will certainly be needing to get rid of a few.

Tennesseebanker, my email is bhipol@yahoo.com. I am new to grading and submitting to PSA. I have collected autographs for years but I am gonna give that a break. Will definately need ALOT of assistance with this.
As for the first two listed, it's the centering. Both of these cards sell on the bay in 9 from time to time and both at elevated costs. Seaver because he is a well known player as well as a HOF'er and Kuntz probably because of the "ha ha tee hee" of his name (my guess)?! I personally have yet to come across any raw examples that would receive a 9.
As for the Carlton, none of my raw examples would have nined due to the focus or coloring of the card. I own a 9 (click on the link) that I won a while ago, however, it's image is sorta "fuzzy". I just recently won a Carlton 10 on Ebay and can't wait to see it in person.

I've sold some of my dupes to the #2 and #4 guy in the registry, however, we've never said anything other than what's written in our feedback towards one another. I've got a few dupes I need to scan so I can put them up on the bay one of these days.
