The 1980's: Breakfast at Tiffany's.

 One might think that team collector's like myself (Braves) and Greg (Dodgers) wouldn't need a lot of cards of our teams from the 80's. We both have exceeded 30K in our team collections yet there are still so many cards out there that slip by.... at least for me they have. I'm sure other team collector's like Tom (Angels), and those West coasters who don't collect Dodgers (A's and Padres), and Michael (Rangers) not to mention those other Yankees fans (AJ and Bo) and plenty of others can attest that there is just so much that we don't have. My last shipment for SLOTS proves that easily.







Like these O-Pee-Chee stickers there are even a couple of Topps Stickers on my want list still. In case you're wondering the Braves are on the other side of Carter and Ryno.




Just to head off any confusion. The 84' Topps here are Tiffany.



The 84' Topps below are the Nestle parallel.







The four are also Tiffany.



88' Score Glossy.



89' Topps Tiffany.



Closing out with 1989 Bowman Tiffany, I didn't even remember or maybe just flat out didn't know there were such cards, but there is. If you take a peek at my 1980's want/needs list you will see just how many Braves cards out there that I DON'T have yet. The same can be said for the 90's but more so and you know what I mean.

Have a great night everyone!

  1. Yup. I tell myself I'm going to cut back on stuff like this, but as soon as you shove a Dodger card I don't have in my face, I want it.

    Have been able to pass on '80s stickers for the most part (though not 81-83). Topps Tiffany is something I need to get going on.

  2. Nice additions. I don't always think of the glossy and Tiffany cards. I know I have very few in my collection but may have a few tucked away in the base sets without realizing it. Have a great night all!

  3. I never knew Score had a glossy set. Was it just in 1988?

  4. Not really sure how many 80's O-Pee-Chee baseball stickers I have sitting in the collection, but I'd say the over/under would be five. 84T Tiffany? Maybe 1, maybe not. 84T Nestle? Maybe 2 or 3, but not more than 4. 88S Glossy or 89 Bowman Tiffany? No idea. 1989 Topps Tiffany? I have the A's team set.
