Official Trading Card of RBI Baseball

[Blyleven_No-No]

GDavis, that card is hilarious, although Al Pedrique looks white in that card, I always thought he was a latino??

[Flood]

All wood grain, all day.

To me, this is the baseball card of my youth. I still have the entire set.  I was eight at the time.  Damn, that's a long time ago.

I always loved the little gold cup they put next to stud rookies. Gregg Jefferies was one of the guys, I think.

Awesome...this was my first complete set.  I too was a fan of the All-Star Rookies

Definitely 87 Topps in my book.  I can't include 1986 because it wasn't an RBI stat year, Topps was king (though the least valuable), the 1987 cards are more well known than lackluster 1988 set and the 1986 stats (1987 cards) was my "preferred" year of RBI with Cali/Bo followed by the Bo/Mets world series..

Phew!

I'm gonna have to go with the '87 Topps set as well. Sure, the design was cheesy and kinda nasty by today's standards, but you can say the same thing about RBI Baseball.

You're absolutely right, I would never call RBI cheesy.  I always spell it cheezy...

I think 87 was a huge year for card collecting.  My first complete set.  Remember when Kids were into baseball?  MLB should have more day games so kids get interested.

Weird, I've once again proved I'm the biggest dumbass on dee nee by not realizing I was reading the second page of the thread.

you must have maxed out

[fknmclane]

Are we fknmcdrunk?  

I wish.  I could definitely use a drink.  My wife's grandmother in the Philippines passed away yesterday and my wife and daughter are leaving tomorrow morning to get out there for the funeral.

I'm totally psyched that they are going, I just wish I could go along.  I've had vacation scheduled for next week for the last few months and so did my wife.

Looks like I'll be home alone on vacation and won't be with my wife and daughter for Thanksgiving.

My prediction:  lots of crying in my beer.

Tough times buddy...

But the dee-nee support group will be there to help you out.  And I'll get you those CDs early to give you something to do...

I'm going with the 87 Topps as well.

That set is a "tribute" to the 1962 Topps set --- the wood grain border is the same on both cards.

I wanted to with 86 Topps since that was the first set I ever owned (thank you grandma!).


Do ya'll remember when cards came 15 to a pack and cost less than 50 cents?  Also, you had your choice of Topps, Fleer and Donruss. . .  .and you were a lucky bastard if you found the Fleer and Donruss.

I feel bad for my son.  If he wants baseball cards, he'll have to choose from 900000 variations.  They are 4.00 a pack and contain 3 cards. . . . .and no tooth breaking gum.

[BeefMaster]

When I collected cards, it was 50 cents a pack for Donruss, Fleer, and Topps, 60 cents for Score, and $1 for Upper Deck.  Upper Deck was the Cadillac of baseball cards.

fknmclane, sorry about your situation.  I'll be thinking about you on Thanksgiving.  If you can make it to St. Paul, you're welcome to join me at my aunt's house.

[fknmclane]

Thanks, Beef.  I'll be on the next flight.  

My parents and everyone is still here, but I'm missing my girls.  This really sucks.

I buy my kid Topps Total. $.99/pack 12 cards, 1 insert every pack.  Topps started making this set in 2001 because of complaints about prices/#of cards etc. They make sets for all 4 sports. The sets are huge however(990cards) but they include all 40 man rosters and key minor leaguers from each system.  This is as cheap as it gets nowadays. Good stuff.

This is the official RBI trading Card

I feel like a kid when I play the game.

[what_foul_pole]

I chose other:

Sportsflicks (sp?)

[Ryno23]

I'm going to go to some old shops and buy shit loads of 88 topps packs (they can't be more than a quarter a piece) and give my kid the gum.

Why did Topps sets always have 792 cards?  Fleer had 660.  Why?
