Why is this card on my list? If you read my first list you see that I had my small George Brett collection stolen from me. This was the only GB card I had left and is the only card that I have from my first collection. It is in terrible shape, but it holds a place of honor.

Token "non-card" card Alert! Enough said! :-)

Nostalgia will get me every time. Little league, although I wasn't good, is still one of my best childhood memories.

This card doesn't pop up very often on the open market, but I finally got one and know have a second one coming. I'm looking out for the 1990 version now.

This was my favorite magazine as a kid. My older brother got the real SI, but this was the highlight of my month when this arrived. I was always excited to see which cards I got.

Is this technically a GB card? I say it is. It has GB's number. Panini stickers are fun.

I was always jealous of my older brother, because he got Starting Lineup action figures and I didn't. But know that I am adult and have the ability to collect these, I don't have a desire. I have mentioned in other lists about items that never got to be used as they were intended, like tattoo or rub downs; but I can't bring myself to buy an action figure(doll) that is still in the original packaging.

When I was in 5th grade I got the complete 1989 Topps set for Christmas. Really it's the only present that I can remember getting specifically for Christmas. I saw these talking sets in the store and wished I could have added them to my list.

This should be no surprise if you have seen my other top ten lists. Silly cartoon caricatures, what’s not to love? Do you agree with my list? What are your favorite cards from this era? I would love to read comments from other collectors and respond.
