1980 Topps Favorite Cardsby chvlDm - 47 cards (Last updated on Mar 29, 2023) |
1. 1980 Topps #2 Willie McCovey
Amazing shot of HOFer 500HR club member watching another one go, breaking a record. |
3. 1980 Topps #30 Vida Blue
Mr. Blue is immersed here in the bright blue sky with beautiful trees & grass in the background. I believe should be a HOFer. |
4. 1980 Topps #40 Carlton Fisk
Fisk is cool. Looks a little frustrated here but he's taking care of business. Catching gear, backwards helmet, eye black... coolness. |
6. 1980 Topps #50 J.R. Richard
JR was dominant and on of HOF track but cut short by injury. I wish he was remembered and celebrated more. Looks stylish as can be here with that awesome classic Astros uniform. |
7. 1980 Topps #55 Bill Madlock
Great pic with blue sky, stands, awesome uniform. Bill has great stats. Four batting titles! |
8. 1980 Topps #57 Pete Vuckovich
I think that's a rolled up tarp in the background. Don't see that on a card every day. Looks cool along with the rest of the background. |
10. 1980 Topps #71 John Milner
Awesome action shot. So clear and focused for a 1980 pic. Such a contrast with all the blurry images seen on other early 80s cards. Uniform is so cool. |

Great list! The 1980 set is one of my favorites, and you highlighted why so well. | ||
Thanks for the comment Tscastle! I'm going to try to make lists like this whenever I'm browsing one of my sets. The feedback is so nice and gives me motivation. Thanks again! | ||
I couldn't agree with you more. My favorite set of all time, probably because it was the first set that started me collecting when I was 9 years old!! |
