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

    It's not a bad set at all. Very colorful and the reverses set the standard at the time with the full color head shot. The rookie crop isn't great (I think Glavine is the only good one) but that was the case for all 1988 sets until the traded/update sets came out- and 1988 Score Traded, of course, was one of the must-have sets of the early to mid 1990s.

    I just came across an unopened box and thought about busting it; but it begged to stay unopened so I obliged.

    Was this not the set with Gregg Jeffries? If so, I remember searching madly for his cards. They were worth alot back then.

    Yeah, Score had a Jeffries. I think they came out late enough that they were able to get in on the hype.

    I love this set. I think it's got some of the most vibrant colors out of all the 80s sets and there were a ton of action shots in the set. I started a 1988 Score Rookie/Traded registry set even but I've lost steam recently. It's not worth the money, but I love all the orange cards and it has the rookies of a couple guys I liked a lot: Biggio and Grace.

    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.

    if someone was smart (which i was not) you could have dumped off several cards of players that had their 15 minutes of fame from the traded set.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    Yeah, they just called it the "Glossy" set.

    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...

    I remember putting the 85 Jeff Stone card in a binder. Thought I was rich.

    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.

    Gooden was the man for about 3 years and especially coming out of the pack in 85.
    Looking back Gooden had a slew of diffrent rookies and I had to have every one.
    Sorry back to the 88 Score set.

    Does anyone know if the error cards in the regular set are also in the glossy set ? What ever happened to Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith ?
