 I have the same love for 1987 Topps, I was 6 years old and that was the first set I started collecting.  I must have bought (well, begged my mom anyway) 3 wax boxes worth of packs, and the rest is history.  I did take a long layoff from the mid-90's up until I discovered my love for vintage around 2006.  I was so disenchanted with the insert craze of the 90's that I just gave up for quite a while.
