Year: 1984

Set: Topps - Collector's Edition (Tiffany) (Rate)

Card: #235 Matt Young


“ Shouldn't there be words on his jersey? Maybe they didn't have one, I don't know baseball but this just strikes me as unusual. At least he looks happy to be there. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ The good ol' days. When Topps had one parallel. Looked up a player yesterday, he had one card in his career but there were 46 parallels. ” -davidhandberry

“ Nice card. We've had Tiffany versions before. They are like the regular flagship set except they have a glossy finish on the front and the back cardboard stock is usually bleached white not the standard non-bleached cardboard. Of course in less than 10 years time (about 8) Topps would be using the thinner bleached white cardstock instead of their standard unbleached cardboard stock. ” -captkirk42

“ loved the design. one of my alltime favorites. Working on completing this set now.... Plus its a mariner. Go matt young ” -parsley24

“ Look how young Matt was, ok sorry! Imagine a premium brand from 1984, this was it. Too bad imagination wasn't available at Topps back then and now hmm well ... ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ Nice card ” -cjjt

“ Never got into the Tiffany thing. Never saw the point. One of the first same size parallels? ” -NJDevils

“ Love this set ” -RoyalChief

“ The 1984 Topps design is one of my favorites. ” -muskie027

Comment on the card...1984 Topps is one of my favorites. And it's not from memories of my youth buying large uncut sheets of these at Child's World (RIP!) and cutting them up. It's a clean design all-around and plenty enough variety in the shots for that time.

As for the player..well, the Red Sox have had plenty of bad FA signings...and he still rates amongst one of the worst!

My sins have come to face me, I can feel it

That I have lived my life in vain

And now I know I'll reap the seeds I've sown
