1988 Topps - Commentary on my Favorites

by chvlDm - 42 cards (Last updated on Mar 3, 2024)

1. 1988 Topps #2 Don Mattingly

Symmetric bright red high ten for pinstripe legends.

2. 1988 Topps #56 Ed Hearn

Play at the plate aftermath. Glasses still clean.

3. 1988 Topps #71 Gary Pettis

Angelic sky for the stolen base wizard as an Angel.

5. 1988 Topps #76 Denny Martinez

Borderline HOFer and old school wood paneling.

6. 1988 Topps #85 Howard Johnson

Hojo carrying his HR weapon like a baby.

7. 1988 Topps #93 Bob Sebra

Green on green. Pitch through the E. Judging by the stance/positioning of the secondbaseman/shortstop I'd say this was the last warm up pitch and the catcher is going to throw to second.

8. 1988 Topps #95 Lance Parrish

Not sure if Lance is buying this guy's story.

9. 1988 Topps #102 Barry Larkin

HOFer in vintage jacket saying he hit his elbow. Also wristbands look like made out of old carpet?

10. 1988 Topps #117 James Steels

Pitcher better hold him on then.

Fantastic commentary. I strive to see as much detail and story in cards like you do.

I especially like the caption for Gooden. Spot on.

Thanks for looking Statsnerd and GoldenEagle555! I really appreciate the feedback. I like making these when I have set binders out! It gets me to look at each card very closely and find a story in it. Like the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Really helps me enjoy and bring the set to life.
