1988 Topps
User Comments |
I had always wondered why these weren't a bit more valuable. You don't see a whole lot of them floating around. Let alone in decent condition with straight cuts. I think they are pretty neat and they are fairly rare. Perhaps it is because a lot of these wax pack boxes are still floating around unopened? | ||
I was 7 and my dad had found a bunch of his childhood cards in my grandparents attic. That reignited his passion for the hobby and we started collecting 1988 Topps (he is a Topps purist? We completed at least three sets and he still has three unopened factory sets set aside to help pay for my college, lol. | ||
This was the first pack of cards I ever opened, and started my McGwire PC. I pulled his All-Topps Rookie team card out of that pack, and I was hooked! | ||
When I was younger the topps factory was around the corner from my house and we would dumpster dive and get the bad cards...lol this was 30 years ago and thats how I started collecting cards over the years, given to me as gifts, yard sales and more. | ||
I love how, on the Glossy Send In set, the only Pirate in the set, on a team with Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla, Andy Van Slyke, and Doug Drabek is...Mike Dunne.

I had no idea what a baseball card was until my uncle gave me two packs of '88 Topps for my 7th birthday. | ||
The first set of cards I collected. I like the clean and crisp design along with the presentation of the team and player name. Its a sentimental favorite. | ||
The first pack of baseball cards I ever opened was 1988 Topps. I received it as a gift from the dad when stopping at a Quik-Way on a summer night coming home from a minor league ballgame. That began a great lifelong father-son relationship centered on Jesus Christ and the beautiful game of baseball. | ||

First pack I ever bought was '88 Topps. I remember being so happy I got Darrell Evans in the pack since I was a Tigers fan. | ||
All my wax bottom cards are in 4 card panels.

First packs, and box of cards I ever opened. | ||
This set reminds me of a cross between the 1966 and 1967 Topps baseball card sets. |
