I know there's not much interest in this set but I like it. Looking for variations and error cards graded 10's.

<< <i>I looked up Gregg Jefferies in the baseball almanac. He played 14 seasons on 6 different teams. Just never lived up to the hype. >>
He actually did live up to the hype for a few years. He and Mike Greenwell had very similar careers. They were both All Stars for a few years early in their careers and both managed to have a few 200 hit seasons. Then both kind of just faded away.
aside from grace, alomar-blackjack mcdowell-brady anderson-chris sabo all showed flashes of brilliance. i saw people going nuts after mcdowell cards in 1993.

The only player I bet heavy on was Todd Van Poppel in the 1991 Upper Deck.
How about Phil Plantier cards, anybody have those still.

<< <i>Don't forget that they did a Tiffany version of 1988 Score and its Rookie/Traded set (I think limited to 5000 of each) as well. Yes, I know it's not really called Tiffany (I'm using that term generically). >>
Yeah, they just called it the "Glossy" set.

<< <i>In early 1985, the highest valued card in the Topps set was the rookie card of Jeff Stone. It was valued at $2, which at the time was unheard of for a card coming straight out of a major company's packs. Stone was supposed to be the next huge star of the 80's. He just missed by a smidgen... >>
As I recall, there was never a time in 1985 when the Gooden wasn't the highest price cards. Stone (in my recollection) fell into that 2nd tier with Alvin Davis, Juan Samuel, Clemens, Puckett, Saberhagen and Dan Gladden. The 3rd tier was Phil Bradley, Jim Presley, Orel Hershiser, Mark Gubicza, Jimmy Key, Dennis Rasmussen, Mike Pagliaro, and probably a few others that I can't remember offhand.
Eric Davis was huge for a while.
Looking back Gooden had a slew of diffrent rookies and I had to have every one.
Sorry back to the 88 Score set.
