For Sale: The Ultimate High Grade 1988 Topps Football Set

[BigRedOne]

Some of you may have followed my Thread on the CU board on "Building the Perfect 1988 Topps Football Set"

This crazy quest saw me crack almost 2 cases of wax, cello and Jumbo packs.


After throwing out all the bad cards: Wax Stains, bad centering, corners and Print flaws, I had about 30 to 40 of every card in the set.

That being said I decided to build 5 of the finest 1988 Topps Football Sets on the planet. EVERY card was cherry picked for these sets.

Every card is 9, 10 quality with absolutely beautiful sharp corners and brilliant deep color and gloss.

Centering you ask? EVERY card is 60/40 or better with 50/50 on the majority.

The last set I recently sold, to "The Dutymon" Neil Duty, Pulled 9's and 10's including a PSA 10 Vinny Testaverde Rookie.

The set I have to offer here is every bit as spectacular as the set Neil got.

The Bo Jackson Rookie already came from a PSA 9 slab. I broke it out to use for my set, but cracked another nice one for my set from a wax box I just busted.

Yes you can buy one of those $30-40 dealer sets on ebay claiming to be Mint, but we all know about the overstated ebay grading. Some may be content with those ebay dealer sets, This set is for the discriminate collector looking for TRUELY MINT cards.

Without further ado, I present one of the finest 88 Topps Football Sets you'll likely ever see.


































The Set will come with a nice 1000 Yard Club Glossy Insert set as well as:

The key Rookies are there, That Chris Doleman Rookie alone is a $50 card if it pulls a 10 (which I believe it has a chance) The Bo I know will grade, it came from a PSA 9 slab.
