I like the 1984 Donruss set a lot, too. And, I admit to being a sucker for 1987 Topps. The wood grain throwback to 1962, and the reappearance of the Topps rookie team trophies made it fun to collect. Jose Canseco, Wally Joyner, Danny Tartabull. Good times when one of them popped in a wax pack.

+1 on the 1980 Topps (although I typically prefer unopened packs on these when purchasing - the 3 pack grocery trays are awesome) and for some strange reason the 84 Donruss also scratches an itch for me
