Anyone put together a set of all the RBI lineups?
I am in the process of searching all my baseball cards to get the entire set again. I had it once after i went to Cooperstown when Ozzie was inducted (they have a few awesome card shops there) but a flood ruined it. I only need like 10 more players. The only card shop here in my town doesnt have cards from that far back. I am gonna start searching Ebay for them soon.
Did you make the set using the card year repersented by the game?
RC's of each RBIer would be fresh.

I'd say get a full set, then make sure you have each RBI'er playing for their proper team. Though I'm off to a good start with Mike Schmidt, rookie cards of RBI'ers would be MUCH too expensive. Nolan alone would break the bank...
My dad has 2 or 3.

You'd be surprised at how cheap expensive rookie cards go for when they are in poor condition. I think that would be okay for purposes of this collection, too. Maybe I'll try it (I have a good Reggie Jackson, so that's a start).
I have a '52 Topps Mantle that I'd be willing to trade for an '86 Wilfong.
I'd do that trade... But obviously I wouldn't give up an 87 Wilfong because the 87 cards show the stats from the 86 season...
Here's a list of all RBIers on cards that show stats from their RBI season. All are depicted on their RBI team as well. Except for All Stars, they are all on '88s because '87 is the year they blah blah blah
You know how the game is.
To me, this is the perfect RBI "Set"

This works other than the fact that a lot of players had their stats from other seasons in the game. Reggie, for instance, has his stats from 1982 in the game and not 86, so you would have to get an 83 reggie.

But its '86 Reggie playing. Tengen Stadium's scoreboard operator liked to drink.
Dont complicate this erhajj.
the 86 reggie only hit 18 dingers. The rbi reggie hits the shit ton out of the ball. I think that it is the 82 reggie who led the league in dingers playing.
yeah, and his '82 stats are on the back of his '87 card
DONT FUCK UP MY SET ERHAJJ!
The 1982 Reggie Jackson
EDIT: That first pic was the 1979 Reggie, here's the 1982 Reggie.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I want an RBI set of all the players who played with the A's at some point in their career in an A's uniform. McGwire, Canseco, Seitzer, Raines, Righetti, Randolph, McGee, Mitchell, Aldrete, Lopes, Garner, Reggie, Hendrick, Sutton, Baylor, Hendu, and Armas all have been with the A's at some point.
I do not think there are any Mitchell A's cards. I have one for everybody else other than raines but I am sure that he was in a team issued set that year.
1998 Pacific Online #539 Kevin Mitchell
it has already been decided. the 87 Topps set is the official RBI set.
we can lock this thread now.
I have the RBI set. It's missing Mark Davidson and Al Pedrique.
Shit paw was on a mission to create these two cards, but stopped at Mark Davidson.

No dumbass. This is different. All these cards rep the.........forget it.
basically, if you've got a complete set of the 1987 and 1988 Topps series, you've got the complete RBI set too. I've got both, but I'm not about to pull them apart. Still it'd be the easiest way to do it; I can't see either set costing you that much.
edit: an AUTOGRAPHED set of RBI cards would be the way to go, and about 100 times more impressive.

More RBI'ers than that erhajj, check out shitpaws page on RBI'ers with the athletics. Shit he has a picture of all but Spaghetti in their A's uni to boot!
http://dee-nee.com/wiki/index.php/RBIers_with_the_Athletics
Shitpaw did some amazing RBI Database work...
I left out heath (How could I forget?), Baines, and Walling. Darn......
I have heath and baines A's cards but I do not have a walling.
Question: should Bonny's set be composed of cards from the year AFTER the RBI year (thus having that year's stats, as he suggests), or from that year itself. From my standpoint, if the RBI version of Reggie Jackson is from 1986, then the baseball card should Reggie's card from 1986, since that's the card of 1986 Reggie Jackson.
(And I understand this is different from the "Official Baseball Card Set of RBI Baseball" Discussion - I'm talking about being able to pull from either of the two years to get the accurate cards.)
Agree or disagree? I'd like to add something to the Database about this if possible.
I personally disagree because the 1986 cards represent players from the 1985 season. Some of those players (Henderson comes to mind) won't be on the right team in their 1986 card. I don't think having a Mariners Henderson card from 1986 Topps truly represents the Dave Henderson from RBI. Then again, wasn't he a late season trade? If so, his 1987 card is also on the wrong team, further making look like a fool...
My though on that would be that the majority of players who were traded midseason would be represented in the Topps Traded editions that came out after the season ended.

Hendu's 87 topps card shows him grinning in a red sox road jersey.

But which season's traded cards? If Hendu was traded in late 1986, wouldn't his bosox card be in the 1987 traded set? The 1986 Topps hendu is dead on since he played the whole 1985 season for seattle or whoever...
Consider this discussion aside from the fact that Hendu has an 1987 topps card on Boston. Jeez, I picked the worst possible example, didn't I?
all I know is that in order to be considered legitimate, any RBI card set ought to include an autographed Donnie Moore card from '87. Bet there aren't too many of those floating around anymore ... not that there could've been all that many in the first place.
My set is perfect. Everybody is pictured in their correct uni.
Im off to collate sets.
Bonny...fine. We'll do it your way...
BLACKTACULAR!
Get to work on the page usc...
Actually, I'm going to try and add each player's baseball card from their correct year into their page, using Topps, Donruss, Fleer and whatever other cards I can find.
I just did Reggie Jackson's page (http://dee-nee.com/wiki/index.php/Reggie_Jackson) as an example.

That's weird, just like the entire article. It seems to disappear with the NPOV tag. I don't
careknow enough about the wiki language to help.
Didn't ShitPaw make a full '87 Topps set with everyone?
Heh, I say thanks for the idea in another topic, then I suddenly see this one, and it's all about the actual regular Topps sets, lol.
I have a shitload of 1987 Topps cards, I bet I'd have most of the RBI'ers in that set. One time I bought one of those mixed card sets from a department store, you know, the ones with a good card on the front and the rest are shitty? Well I got a Randy Johnson out of it (1990s), and a 1987 Topps Jose Canseco All-Star rookie card.
I have Reggie's 1987 Topps, and his 1974 Topps, and a few in between. I bet I could list all the cards from that set I have just by looking at the lineups. But I'm gonna look through 'em later.
I'm also gonna look for and make a list of all the rookie cards I have of the RBI guys. I have Trammell and Whitaker's rookie cards, Willie McGee's, a few more I think. I have the entire 1983 Topps set, so I guess Boggs, Sandberg, and Gwynn's rookie cards also.
As someone said earlier, Nolan Ryan's rookie is almost unattainable. It's well over $1000 bucks I'm pretty sure.
As for 1988 Topps, I don't have quite as many cards, but I have a few.

You can get almost all players (on their correct team I think) with the 87 Topps and 87 Topps trades. The only two missing are Mark Davidson and Al Pedrique. Shitpaw photoshopped a Mark Davidson but hasn't done one for Al, yet.
The real way to do it is how I so calmly suggested.

mine will be uniform, neat, and tidy.. . . . . somewhat ghay / ghey. . . . .but much better than yours.
I also have the 87 tops "team leader" cards included with my set, which adds a bit of class if you ask me.

Bonny is right, people.
no, he's not.
I'm right!!!!!
There was a puhl!!!!
87 Topps won!!!!!
Lick my left nut!!!!!!
And my right one, too!!!!!!
What is the point of having the Puhls if they aren't adhered to, you know how many times I've wasted my time voting?
509 times.
My set is an entirely different deal.
Im sick of being picked on.
I understand what your set is, Bonny, and I am working towards making that happen on the RBI Database...
Hey, thanks for all the tips!
I went through a shoebox of cards last night, they happened to be in sets, they were all hitters, and they were in order of their career hits on the card backs, heh heh. Well, I mean all the 1100 hit guys were together, 500-599, etc. 1984-1993 Topps I went through and had fun doing it, lol.
I've already found about 300 total cards of former RBI players (lots are doubles, triples and quadruples), I found some 1992 Topps cards of the great Steve Lake and Jim Lindeman!! How cool is that? (Joking).
Then I'll move onto the Fleer, Score, and Donruss cards, I think they're all in order too. Then I have shoeboxes with pitchers in order. Damn this'll keep me busy for a while. It's a great hobby though, card collecting.
Oh by the way, I DON'T have Trammell's rookie card. I have his 2nd year 1979 Topps. Paul Molitor is on the same rookie card I just remembered. It's worth about $50.
I agree, our golfing friend Bonny's rbi card set is the best way to come up with a true RBI set.
While looking to add Krukows' 1988 cards to add to his databse page (http://dee-nee.com/wiki/index.php/Krukow), found a cool little picture of the 1988 Mother's Cookies cards of the Giants. Anyone remember these? What is the history of Mother's cookies?
Mother's cookies made the once a season give away team sets for many teams in the western united states from the early 80's through the early 90's. I have many A's mother's cookies sets.
They also did many regional release sets of various themes, usually a star player. I know they had 4 card individual player sets of Ryan, Griffey, and Canseco. Those sets were sold inside packs of cookies one card at a time. I have several of the canseco cards.
I think that they made a mcgwire set also but I am not sure.
If you look for them on ebay you can find many of their sets.

87 topps, thank you very much.
We're talking about different things. This isn't one "set" as in all from the same brand/year. This is a "set" of cards that stretch across 87 AND 88 to include the "RBI Year" of all players.
Get it, Hogg?
87 topps, yes i get it.
have none of you learned? you can't possibly take me seriously.
I bet I could scrounge at least 3 of these sets. I can then hand number them.
if shipping wasn't a killer, you could ebay those 87 and 88 team sets for a couple bucks each.
Of course, the complete sets can't cost much more than 20 bucks total. You'd just have a shit ton of worthless cards lying around.
