Best 1980's card design (any sport).

I hear 1985 Topps football and 1984 Donruss baseball mentioned a lot. What do you think the best 80's card design is? Post a pic also.

I have always been a fan of 1984 Topps BB and 1982 Topps FB:

It's hard to argue the beginning of the decade...


Or the clean look of the 1984 Fleer set....

Personally, my favorite is the 82 Topps Baseball design.

And I'll always have a soft spot for the 87 Topps Baseball design too.

I'd rate '84 Donruss as the best of the 80's, but then again, '84 was a banner year in which all 3 companies put out exceptional designs.

By the way, this includes Hockey and Football as well. Great designs.

Forgot about this one, my favorite hockey card design of all-time:

1985-86 Topps/OPC

Hey, I think that Mario rookie should be a PSA 8.5

Ask me tomorrow and I may change, but currently it is 1987 Donruss. Lots of cool RC's, Diamond Kings, Rated Rookies in general, condition sensitive black borders, variations, tons of HOF'ers. This set spell 80's.
