A few years back I purchased a 1987 Topps set from a seller at a card shop for $3.88. Great deal, right? The Barry Bonds and Bo Jackson we in top loaders on top of the cards in the 800 count box, so I assumed it was a complete set. I was wrong.
I've been binge listening to a baseball card podcast called Wax Ecstatic. On Twitter, you can find him @WaxAndGumStains. Matt, that runs the podcast, started off by devoting a podacast to a single card from each set 1980 - the early 1990's. So one for 1980 Topps, then one for 1981 Topps, 1981 Donruss, 1981 Fleer, 1982 Topps, 1982 Donruss, 1982 Fleer and so forth. I think most bloggers would enjoy listening. Go check it out!
Recently I listened to the 1987 Topps episode and so I was inspired to page my 1987 Topps set. That's when I found out that it wasn't a complete set. I'm missing 37 cards.
If you can help me out, let me know. Thanks!

I think I have doubles of the entire set. I know we've traded before, but I no longer have you address. If you send it to ericandgretchen at Yahoo I will send them to you.
ReplyDeleteOh dang! That sucks!
ReplyDeleteI love listening to Wax Ecstatic! I've opened more 1987 Topps than any other product... but cleaned most of my inventory out way beck in the 90's. Not that it matters. Sounds like EP is gonna take care of you. If you end up needing any 1982, 1984, or 1986 Topps... let me know. I still have those sitting in a box somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens. Occasionally it's one or two missing, but that's a pretty large chunk that are gone.
