Was it 1985 Topps Dwight Gooden or Eric Davis's rookies. Those things were hot.
Or maybe some of you dreamed of owening the 84 Mattingly or the highly sought out for 86 Canseco Rated Donruss Rookies.
We cant forget about Mark Mcgwires 1985 Topps. Never have I seen a card skyrocket from $30 to about $250 in under 6 months.
Does the Griffey 89 Upperdeck represents the 80s better than any other card.
Which card was your favorite from the 80's.
Pick whatever card represents the 1980's for you.
Theres no wrong or right here. Just great cards to discuss.
Ill throw mine in here in a bit.

Boo!
1) 1983 Topps George Brett (my favorite player)
2) 1984 Topps Ron Kittle (first time I remember a huge buzz about a modern rookie card from the current year)
3) 1989 Upper Deck Nolan Ryan (both the three headed action pic and the football pic)

Also, I believe Ron Kittle was in the 1983 Fleer set, so that should have been his rookie.
My favorite of all-time (which comes from the 80's) is the 1986 Canseco Donruss. That was the first card I remember seeing in the becketts that was one of the newer cards in recent years that was worth big bucks and I never imagined that I would ever own it. Just figured it would never go down. Now I pick them up for $3.
Wasn't Jy Johnstone in that set too with some weird pointy hat?
<< <i>I really dig the 1985 Topps Mattingly. Its a card Ive always wanted and theres nothing even special about it. Did pick up 3 recently.

I know, kinda sad. I started buying packs of topps in 1986 but I didnt know anyones names, I just loved baseball cards after getting over my massive garbage pail kids faze. By 1988 I started really getting into buying packs and trading in school with other friends and by 90, premium packs like Upperdeck and Leaf were out and most of my friends were buying those and I was still stuck on buying junk like Topps, Fleer and Score. Mattingly - 84 Donruss was a big card back in the day. 85 Topps wasnt anything amazing by a long stretch but in the late 80's people held onto the Mattinglys. Besides, I really never knew people who had cards from 1985 and before, at least not when I first started collecting.
TOTALLY digging that Megatron BTW!! I want one

Might have been '83. I just remember being the big annual summer show in KC and everyone was talking about that card and the fact that crazy collectors had driven the price over the $5 mark. I could not believe anyone would pay $5 for a single card from the current year's set.

We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

Opened many 80-81 Topps hockey packs but never pulled this one!

1985 Topps Football (starting in psa 8) - #9 - started 05/21/06
Mine would be the 1983 Topps Football Tony Dorsett Record Breaker #2.
I remember watching that MNF game against the Vikes with my Pops and when T.D. took it from endzone to endzone I became a football fan for life.
