they don't even warrant being in the SMR? Good thing I tucked a few boxes of them away back when they came out.image Probably not even worth today what I paid for them then.

    Maybe not but it is a very nice set, loaded with HOF'ers and RC's.

    I totally agree! I think they are very sharp looking. I thought it was just before the market was flooded with football cards. I know Score was very limited. Were the Topps just over produced? I also think that had Sterling Sharpe not been forced to retire as soon as he did, his card would be worth WAY more than it is now. He would have had a ring, another Super Bowl, and possibly behind only Rice in several career receiving records.

    Overproduction for sure!!

    Overproduction, and they did not have the 1989 Rookies like Pro Set and Score did (Topps just had the 1988 draft class, Pro Set and Score had 1988 and 1989). Topps was passe at the time... Pro Set was king in 1989 because no one wanted Score after their lackluster 1988 Baseball set. It took a few months for the hobby to realize how limited Score was, and how gimmicky Pro Set was. Topps just never entered the equation.

    I know I have about 50 to 60 rack packs that I picked up for .25 ech in 1989 after the season was over.

    I kind of remember something about a player that may have been a short print or something like that because he did not have have contract with Topps but I am not sure. I think the player was Micheal Dean Perry?

    1989 was kinda the super year for rookie cards during that era. Even in baseball there was some good ones too. 1990 was a monster too in all sports. Maybe even better than 1989 once you include the Hockey RC's that came out that year. Oh boy, those were the fun days.

    junk . . . don't waste space storing them.

    I have often wondered how Sharpes stats and honors match up with someone like Sayers whose career was cut short by injury as well. He was for a sure a dominant reciever in his time. Too bad it could have lasted another few years or he would probably be in the HOF by now. Just think him with Favre in '95, '96 and '97. Favre might have beat Marino's record in '96 then.

    Very true, your had Cris Carter. Sterling Sharpe, Tim Brown, Michael Irvin, Bruce Matthews, Rod Woodson, Thurman Thomas, John Taylor, James Hasty, Flipper Anderson, Chris Chandler, Eric Allen, Anthony Miller and a few others.

    Add the traded set and you get Barry Sanders, Troy Aikman, Deon Sanders, Derrick Thomas, plus.
