Rare Topps Baseball Cards (S.I. Slide Show)

Saw this on the Sports Illustrated site today, thought some of you might enjoy. As you would expect there are several errors and they even show images of the cards with the edges clipped off, but all in all I thought it was a pretty good mainstream feature on our hobby.


Gotta love that one of the "rare" Topps Baseball Cards is the '87 Topps Cal Ripken

Read It!

Thanks for sharing. Joe Orlando will be happy to know many are from his top 250 cards in the hobby

Gives all new definition to the word "rare."

I bet the seventeen remaining brick and mortar shops are going to love being inundated with people trying to sell their "rare" McGwire rookies and '87 Topps cards.

Sounds like the author collects cards and wants to drum up some hype for some of the cards that he has.

those are generally a list of popular cards, valuable cards, and uncorrected error cards. None of them are rare.
