Completed Set - 1987 Topps Traded

I recently finished this set by adding the last two cards I needed through a TCDB trade with jsteved.

From back when it was still called "Traded" and they still had XRCs (do they do XRC any more?)


Nice 132-card set, no notable cards really, there are a few minor stars rookie cards like Matt Williams and Ellis Burks. Below is a selection of some of the cards I like in the set.

In his 16th season, this veteran deserved to take a knee for the photo shoot.

Only a coincidence that it's another A's player, Jackson returned to the A's for the '87 season and here he is revisiting Anaheim where he spent the previous five seasons.

How can you NOT like a Fred McGriff Blue Jays card.

Fringe "Someday PC" guy.

Always makes me laugh when he's not.

  1. That John Smiley card played a key role in an episode of This Is Us.

  2. Now for the real question: Are you going with a box or binder for storing the set?

  3. I'm pretty sure that Parrish image was used for his flagship 87 or 88 Topps card.

    1. You're right, it's also on the 1988 flagship card. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/125/cid/53898/1988-Topps-95-Lance-Parrish
