I've settled in on my initial list of the Top 25 to start pursuing in 2010. I also decided to cut the list off at 2000. I'll come back in re-evaluate the list in 2015 and add in 5-10 cards from 2001-2010 (and perhaps earlier), with the end goal to have this be the Top 50... when I'm 50 in 2027
Here is the final list:
1977 TOPPS 177 STEVE LARGENT 1978 TOPPS 315 TONY DORSETT 1979 TOPPS 310 JAMES LOFTON 1979 TOPPS 390 EARL CAMPBELL 1981 TOPPS 216 JOE MONTANA 1982 TOPPS 434 LAWRENCE TAYLOR 1982 TOPPS 486 RONNIE LOTT 1983 TOPPS 38 MIKE SINGLETARY 1983 TOPPS 294 MARCUS ALLEN 1984 TOPPS 63 JOHN ELWAY 1984 TOPPS 123 DAN MARINO 1984 TOPPS 280 ERIC DICKERSON 1985 TOPPS 251 WARREN MOON 1986 TOPPS 161 JERRY RICE 1986 TOPPS 275 REGGIE WHITE 1986 TOPPS 374 STEVE YOUNG 1987 TOPPS 362 JIM KELLY 1989 SCORE 246 DEION SANDERS 1989 SCORE 257 BARRY SANDERS 1989 SCORE 270 TROY AIKMAN 1990 SCORE SUPPLEMENTAL 101T EMMITT SMITH 1991 STADIUM CLUB 94 BRETT FAVRE 1996 BOWMAN'S BEST 164 RAY LEWIS 1998 SP AUTHENTIC 14 PEYTON MANNING 2000 SP AUTHENTIC 118 TOM BRADY

it's a good list, must have been tough picking only 25. Just wanted to say the line "when i'm 50 in 2027", sounds like part of a song. maybe you could write a song about putting the cards together.
<< <i>1980 Phil Sims ( I love warren Moon, but Simms trumps him) >>
I ran this thought through my mind several times when putting together my initial list, and it came down to 2 things:
1) Given the condition sensitive nature of the set, I wanted something in there from 1985... and Moon is the top RC in the set 2) Warren rocks the gold jacket, Phil does not (even though i wouldn't disagree that Simms trumps Moon) >>
Sims over Moon?....no way. Sims was a good quarterback on a team with a great defense. Moon was a great quarterback on a crappy team.
Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards. Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.

I'm quite surprised that a few names haven't been mentioned and that one seems to be an afterthought...
1980 Topps Lester Hayes (the man who made Stick-um illegal and who made man-to-man coverage an art form) 1996 UD SP Marvin Harrison (perhaps the #2 WR behind Jerry Rice in the last quarter decade) 1999 Pacific Kurt Warner (with all the talk about Simms and Big Ben, Warner deserves consideration despite an up and down career) 2001 Topps Chrome LaDanian Tomlinson (absoultely the most dominating RB since Sanders/Smith)
1994 UD SP Marshall Faulk (definitely more deserving than Eric Dickerson, or Marcus Allen)

The only problem I have here is with Ladainian Tomlinson, sure he has been great during his prime regular season games but a complete waste when it counts IE Playoffs, he has hardly been there when his team needed him the most.
