to tell on the back there s a newspaper like write up on the back that talks about the players career i found most of these cards in the bottom of a box of cards my dad got at a garage sale for 5 it s

that was released in just a few states michigan was one of them unfortunately i hadn t started collecting yet i have only 6 of the cards in this 660 card set no comments labels 1975 baseball commons specialty set topps topps 1976 i have just a handful of the cards in this set no comments labels 1976 baseball commons topps topps 1977 i have about half of the cards in this 660 card set no comments labels 1977 baseball commons topps topps 1978 this was the first year i was serious about collecting great photography i love the cursive team names great looking card to grow up with i need just 2 more cards to complete this 726 card set no comments labels 1978 baseball commons topps topps 1979 this is the set from the height of my card collecting youth i think i bought hobby boxes from renta glasso are they still around and actually bought a whole box of wax packs when that sort of behavior was considered abhorrent i wanted to stretch the box out over the winter but ended up opening the whole thing in one night while my friends goaded me on to get the gum this 726 card set is finally complete no comments labels 1979 baseball commons topps topps 1980 this 726 card set is complete woot woot all i needed was a jack morris and i already had a fergie jenkins in a hof ers book downstairs done and done no comments labels 1980 baseball commons topps topps 1981 this was the year i started high school and quit collecting cards so this set was put together one card at a time it was a rotten set so if you have to buy singles one at a time at least they re cheap only 5 cards short of this 726 card set if you don t count the traded set which picks up where this one leaves off no comments labels 1981 baseball commons topps topps 1982 i ve finished logging my cards through the early 80 s and i don t have an awful lot of cards from before 1977 so the rest of this should go up pretty fast hang on i still need about 28 cards to complete this set wanna trade for the rest no comments labels 1982 baseball commons topps wednesday march 11 2009 topps 1983 nice design this year with the close up mortis box no wonder they mimicked themselves the next year not much else to say except that i didn t do much collecting this year but have still managed to cobble together most of the set small wonders never cease i am just 1 card shy of completing this 792 card set jim palmer i have his oh pee chi version but that doesn t count no comments labels 1983 baseball commons topps friday march 6 2009 topps 1984 the year i graduated high school i wasn t much into baseball at the time which seems strange now since the tigers were on their way to winning the world series i was worried about starting college and staying out of jail after hitting a teacher with a cream pie long story remind me to tell you about it later still somehow i managed to round up all but 1 of the cards in this 792 card set ron kittle if only i could go back and do all the other things i missed out on in 1984 so easily no comments labels 1984 baseball commons topps topps 1985 this was a funny year for baseball cards of course the mark mcgwire rc is in here i picked up a copy at a card show for 2 and had to wrestle with it for a minute or two standing at the card table he was still going through his third or fourth stint on the injured reserved list and what he would do when he returned was still in question i felt like a sap when i got home and noticed it had a dent in the side from the machine that wrapped the wax around the pack 10 years later after he d hit 70 i sold that card in a mall in orlando for 90 i was sorry to see it go but i knew the price would come down again then a couple years ago in a big commons swap i got another without a dent thrown in with the deal patience pays off so it goes with this 792 card set i think i have about 3 4 of these cards how about you no comments labels 1985 baseball commons topps monday march 2 2009 topps 1986 the curse of the black border they did this in 1971 and again last year it looks really nice when you pull it out of the pack but it seems there is no way to keep these cards in mint condition not that i m a fan of card grading i m just saying even if you treat your cards with respect a black bordered card always seems to look like you left it with your kid brother a year after you bought it but this may work to your advantage if you don t worry about such things i got a 71 tom seaver for a song because the previous owner repainted the corners with magic marker you can t see it unless you look at the edges if you put it in a sleeve like you would do anyway you can t see the edges which raises an ethical dilema if a card is retouched but no one can see it is it still mint i m 2 short of completing this 792 card set as well what do you want for these black and whites no comments labels 1986 baseball commons topps thursday february 26 2009 topps 1987 topps again dusted off the old wooden boarder for this set i m not sure what the significance of this design is supposed to be it doesn t look like the tight grain of the ash wood used in baseball bats maybe it s supposed to be the bench bowman put out a set in 1952 meant to look like a color tv which was the novelty of the day perhaps this year they ll put out one that says blackberry along the bottom that would be cool heh heh anyway i have completed this once standard 792 card set but i have more doubles than curtis granderson if you need any well you know the deal no comments labels 1987 baseball commons topps topps 1988 this is the only set i have that i didn t put together myself i got a hand collated one at a card show for 5 at the height of the gold rush so that should be some indication of its value today to everyone out there laying out big money for baseball cards today i have just two words gregg jeffries so as i just said i have the complete collection of this 792 card set i d be willing to trade my commons for cards from any other year or maybe some of those mcdonald s beanie babies you still have kicking around your closet no comments labels 1988 baseball commons topps topps 1989 this year and year before were some of the classic topps sets nothing flashy very clean exactly what you would expect a baseball card to look like 1989 was especially reminiscent of the 65 set with the flag around the name sadly these were some of the most overproduced cards ever made while even the randy johnson rc has failed to retain any value on the up side everyone can have one and the chances of completing the set are very good case in point my traditional 792 card set is complete but if you are a few cards short in this set or would like a johnson rc let me know i m sure we can work something out no comments labels 1989 baseball commons topps wednesday february 25 2009 topps 1990 granted these cards are ugly but at least topps was still trying the cartoonish look makes them identifiable from across the room they also put out a set of major league debut cards using this format but attributing them to the 1989 season this is probably where bowman got the idea to do pretty much the same thing in 1992 and started the whole well that s not really his rookie card discussion and this set was in addition to the traded set which you could still buy by the pack grrr i have all but 1 of the cards in this 792 card set what the who is 701 bernie williams that can t be right let me check but i m pretty sure i have the williams rc otherwise the rest are trade bait what do you like update i found the williams rc at the cardshow today in the 10 cent bin i got 2 just in case so if you still need one i ve got you covered no comments labels 1990 baseball commons topps topps 1991 this is one of my favorite sets it was the last year of the gray card stock and the first year of the gold parallel set the photography is at times stunning and iconic such as the benito santiago card above nice i m glad to have the complete 792 card set from this year if you still need a few let me know perhaps you can help me with cards from another year no comments labels 1991 baseball commons topps monday february 23 2009 topps 1992 hello my name is erik and i am a a cardboard junkie hello erik i started at an early age me and my friends would hustle up some change from our folks then go out and score a couple packs nothing serious y know i mean everyone was doing it right i don t know where it went from being a harmless little habit to this destructive addiction but i can tell you when i hit rock bottom 1992 i think it was the sight of brien taylor going for 8 in the card shop maybe it was the white card stock i don t know it s all a blur now so what do i have to show for it i have all but 2 of the cards in this 792 card set which is remarkable since i have over 5 000 doubles how in the hell does someone buy nearly 6 thousand cards and not complete a freakin set huh can you tell me what are the odds ok thank you erik you can sit down now would someone else like to share update as part of my therapy i was made to sit down with my 1992 and see how i squandered so much of my life on such a trivial pursuit in so doing i discovered the 2 missing cards the number of doubles is actually well over 6 000 and i think i have at least 3 of each card my therapist calls this a slip i call it vindication no comments labels 1992 baseball commons topps topps 1993 what i remember of this year was that my friends and i had a big swap meet we gathered in my parents basement each of us with an unopened box of topps and started opening when we were done we traded for the ones we still needed rick gave me his cards because he left them in the back of his car and rain came in through the window i carefully dried them out and can t tell them from the others score so this gentle reader is how i managed to complete this man sized 819 card set please take a look and see if you need any of these cards to complete your 93 set and perhaps you could return the favor for another year no comments labels 1993 baseball commons topps topps 1994 irrational exuberance remember that s how they described the economy under bill clinton it looked like the stock market could keep going up with no ceiling and people really believed it too the baseball card market was a lot like that until this year it was a time before a strike cancelled the world series before anyone was really thinking there was a drug that was causing the players to look like weightlifters with the mumps before ebay demonstrated the laws of supply and demand ah 1994 we thought we d collect 2 of everything and be retired by now good times i still need 100 cards in this 792 cards set 792 who would have thought there were that many players in the majors i guess that happens when you still include rookies no comments labels 1994 baseball commons topps friday february 20 2009 topps 1995 this was the last full size set of the century for topps for the rest of the decade 660 cards would seem a lot i don t know what effect the strike had on the hobby but it might explain the dearth of rookies in following years or it might be where the card company finally became as cynical as the players they portrayed and began maximizing their profits whatever this 660 card set is about half complete how many do you have 2 comments labels 1995 baseball commons topps topps 1996 i remember exactly where i was this year chicago i was just getting my bearings after my life was coming out of a tailspin so for series one i had better things to do especially considering the weakness of this set but fortunately there were others collecting so with your help i can make up that time not that i don t have better things to do right now mind you whatever if you have any of these cards let me know no comments labels 1996 baseball commons topps topps 1997 topps continued to put out rookie free sets like this one choosing instead to let inserts carry them the cards are nice enough looking but the set is again too small meh i am 57 cards short of completing this 496 card set let me know if you can help me find the rest no comments labels 1997
