How can you not love the baseball cap design and 'Topps baseball' logo? I was always searching for Yankee cards with the pink bubble gum borders, hoping each one found would be a Reggie! | ||
Hello fellow baseball card collectors and enthusiasts. I am new to this channel after seeing an ad on the program "The Card Life" so I checked out this site and am very impressed of it's layout, the easy navigation and how a collector can organize his or her card collection.

81 topps baseball favorite set by far from my childhood as well as first pack rip. Unfortunately as a kid I would take the pack fresh cards and position the players out on the field in their proper positions and as they scooted along the ugly green carpet of those days the corners and entire cards even would crease and fold as I would scoot them along playing my imaginary ball game in my head. Shame but as a 3y old I had no clue. Big props to my dad for the patience and love for keeping them packs coming over the next 5 years until I was old enough to start buying those green packs of 87. That's when it was on! | ||
