RBI baseball card set.

[Bonny]

basically, if you've got a complete set of the 1987 and 1988 Topps series,

If you have the cards that I listed, then you have a true RBI set.

Why is this so hard for you idiots to understand?

[Bonny]

This is an entirely different deal.

The exchanges on the second page of this thread is killing me.

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.

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!

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...

[fightonusc]

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?

[capt_taco]

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.

[Bonny]

My set is perfect. Everybody is pictured in their correct uni.
Im off to collate sets.

[fightonusc]

Bonny...fine. We'll do it your way...
