Totally had a flash back of 12 year old me, riding my bike up to the drug store and buying as many packs that my paper route could afford. Very nostalgic.

Looks like the sealed “Christmas” set is selling for between $10 and $40 on eBay, depending on the phase of the moon, I suppose.

I have the official complete set of 792 cards still in the box and plastic wrap

There’s been lots of speculation on this over the years — Randy Velarde, Bob Geren, Phil Lombardi, Steve George. Not sure if wwe know for *sure* but here is an interesting thread on the card … https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/777790/1987-donruss-mystery-whos-the-yankees-quot-rated-rookie-quot-on-the-box

Thoughts?

Never noticed that before. Good call!

What I mean is, Topps gives vanity numbers to star cards. Major stars have cards ending in 00 or 50. Stars have cards ending in 0 and some stars or minor stars have cards ending in 5. Occasionally, players would be given card #1 or their uniform number or a milestone number. In 1987, Topps put a lot of stars in cards # 661- 792 to make the set feel like it was put out in series and key cards were later on in the set. Sandberg, Smith, Ryan, Winfield Molitor, Ripken, Parker are given happenstance numbers in the high 600s and 700s.
