85 topps football set collectors - input needed

With me working on this great set, I have decided to pull some cards from the set and keep them on display in a mj roop binder similar to the one I am going to do with my 1971 baseball set. Here's the thread Thread.
My idea is to have the key cards of this set in the PSA ultra pro pages in the roop binder. I can max out at 40 cards (4 sheets is max per binder), and I am thinking I won't have that many. I'd like those who are much more familiar with this set give me some input on what cards they feel are critical and vital to this set's strengths. Here's my initial list:
24 - Richard Dent
33 - Walter Payton
40 - Tony Dorsett
79 - Eric Dickerson
124 - Lawrence Taylor
157 - Joe Montana
192 - Passing Leaders (Montana/Marino)
238 - John Elway
251 - Warren Moon
253 - Mike Munchak
282 - Marcus Allen
292 - Howie Long
314 - Dan Marino
I am leaning heavily towards including the team cards of the 49ers (Montana) and the Bears (Payton) as they are both great looking cards.
And a couple of the record breaker cards (payton and marino) are sharp too.
What do you all think?

Well I will definitely do all the HoF'ers, just to show the amazing depth of this set...but then with 33 cards there, the most cards I can do in addition to my binder would be 7 more cards (the binder only holds 10 of the ultra pro pages x 4 cards =40).
022 Bears TL
024 Dent RC
080 Ellard RC
148 49ers TL (Montana)
192 NFL PASS LDR (Montana/Marino)
251 Moon RC
308 Clayton RC
I want to have the Bears TL card (that Payton card is one of my favorites!), and I may just clip the RB cards to save the space. These 7 above are where I think I will end up.

<< <i>I do like the 85 design, but some of the photos are horrible. Side head shots and fuzzy photos. The 60 Topps set has both, nice simple design and some nice clean photos. Just my own opinion.

If you want to sell one of those boxes, I'd be more than interested in buying it to work on sending in cards for my set.
Let me know
Link!
Anyone interested possibly going in halfs on this?
