I don't own one, but I was always fond of the '85 Topps Mark McGwire USA Baseball Team card. The first packs I ever bought as a kid were '85 Topps and I remember that card standing out based on how the '84 USA team cards had a different design than the regular '85 Topps cards. As a five year old I didn't know anything about baseball and I thought being the first baseman meant you were the best player on the team. I actually based that theory on the '85 Topps Pete Rose card listing him as the first baseman/manager. Being a kid in the Cincinnati area, Pete Rose was the first player I remember ever hearing about so when I saw that card I remember thinking "He's the first baseman and the manager! That guy must really be good!" Using that logic I figured if Mark McGwire was the first baseman for the USA Baseball team he must be the best player in the country!
