If you had to make a list what would be your top 20 boxes, regardless of sport, from 1975-90?

1) 79-80 OPC Hockey
2) 79-80 Topps Hockey
3) 85-86 OPC Hockey
4) 86-87 OPC Hockey
5) 76 Topps Football
6) 81 Topps Football
7) 84 Topps Football
8) 86 Topps Football
9) 89 Score Football
10) 75 Topps Baseball
11) 75 Topps Mini Baseball
12) 80-81 Topps Basketball
13) 86-87 Fleer Basketball
14) 87-88 Fleer Basketball
15) 88-89 Fleer Basketball
16) 78 Topps Baseball

80-81 opc hockey
84-85 opc hockey
86-87 opc hockey
86,87,88 fleer basketball
88,89,90 score baseball
86,87,88,89,90 topps baseball
What do i win?
-79/80 OPC. Hands down the rarest.
-80/81 OPC. Maybe the 2nd or 3rd rarest (tied with 86 fleer basketball?). But you almost never see it.
Then the 80's opc's....85/86, 86/87, 81/92.
Then basketball...86/87, 87/88.
Then football, 81, 84, 86.
Then maybe a few 70's baseball and football...76 ft, 78 bs, 80 bs.
All I can think of for now.
If I could I would get a 1986 Fleer BB as well.
<< <i>Sorry to hear that you don't know hockey exists. I would have to agree on the 1979 OPC and the 1980-81 OPC. The others are available and I think to add some flair to my collection I will add an unopened wax box for each year of 80's hockey that I have complete. I thnk it would look nice. SO that would mean I need 1980 -81 81-82 and 85-86. Hockey get s no respect.

<< <i>Yep, gotta love hockey. Nothing like a 14 month long season with no one south of the Great Lakes watching. Just my opinion of course, but I think golf is going to take the same hit hockey took in about 10 years. When Gretzky retired, the few Americans that cared about hockey quit caring. I figure the same will happen when Tiger retires. >>
14 month season ?
Did you ever play floor hockey in school when you were young, by any chance ?
<< <i>I almost completely agree with Ripkencollectors list accept for I would have to add 83 Donruss or Topps to my list. Tough to beat cheap wax with a chance at one of 3 HOF rookies. >>
lol I almost added 1983 Fleer to my list. Only because when I was a kid I rec'd a wax box of it that someone at his store opened. All the cards were there but I always wanted to open a box of it.
yes, i did
i gave two kids concussions and suffered one myself; the next year there was no more floor hockey in gym class.
<< <i>Did you ever play floor hockey in school when you were young, by any chance ? >>
No, I played real sports like baseball, football and golf. I did play air hockey a lot when I was younger. Does that count?

What, no gator wrastlin' :-)
You are very snobish & and confident about about what a real sport is.
I guess if you say so, then it must be true.
At least that is what I've observed.
<< <i>You are very snobish & and confident about about what a real sport is. >>
Is that English?
<< <i>Real sport like football where if a guy gets hang nail or sprained ankle he doesn't play oh yeah and they play once a week, baseball where one some f your best hitter and players are over weight. I take a hockey as one of the only real sports out there. >>
Geesh!! If you love hockey does it also affect your intelligence?

"if you say so"
The top hockey players are indisputably world-class athletes. It's pretty amazing to me what those guys can do, especially on skates.
Hey! Fightin' Tigers! Fight all the way!
Hey! Fightin' Tigers! Win the game today!
You've got the know-how, You're doin' fine
Hang on the the ball as you hit the wall
And smash right through the line.
You've got to go-o-o-o! for a touchdown

And keep the goal in view, Victory for LSU!!!
Touchdown!
Tigers, Tigers! They've come to town,
Tigers, Tigers! Make that first down.
Give them the ball now and see how they go,
Smashing the line with runs and passes high and low.
Touchdown, touchdown, it's Tiger's score.
Give 'em HELL and a little bit more.

Touchdown for LSU!

To win this game for dear old LSU.

Here's to the glory, here's to the honor, marching on to victory.
Cheer for the Tigers, cheer for the Tigers, Tigers fight, fight, fight!
Hockey still sucks.
<< <i>I'm sure you (hopefully) were joking around about hockey not being a sport. >>
Nope, he is not kidding.
He's got it ranked below gator wrestling
<< <i>Actually watch about 10 professional hockey games a year, not NHL, but still professionals. I actually just like messing with the diehard hockey fans. They always seem to get offended as if I was talking about their mommas.
Hockey still sucks. >>
"If you say so"
Hockey still sucks though.
<< <i>hockeyguy, I just read your sigline. I take back everything I said about you.
Hockey still sucks though. >>
I cant express what that means to me :-)
Did you like my LSU tribute above ?
