All Praise 1980 Topps

[Exhibitman]

This is a heck of a good looking set with some really nice photos.

Yes great set. The best thing about the set is that is the year my Phillies won the World Series.

My first real foray into cards. I had Star Wars cards and some Burger King Yankees (I was a Mets fan). Now 1981? Topps? 6000 Ed Glynn cards? Donruss errors? The 81 Fleer Ow you are talk in’

Yeah 80 Topps though - classic

The very last set I bought as a kid. I wish I'd been more condition conscious. So many 7-8 Hendersons....

My favorite Murph card

I liked that one too, especially after the yawner that was 1979 Topps.

Love this set, however I always hated how Topps put eyeliner and what not on Winfield's face. Looks like they gave Gaylord and Eck a similar but less noticeable treatment. I'm sure there's others. Why?

I am starting my search for the yellow letter variations now. It seems that there are more than just 3 that are documented.

These and the Pryor no name are all just print defects ( there are a boat load of them in the 1980 set). After a few of the yellows got recognized in SCD ( and then PSA) along with the Pryor, several other yellows ( I think I posted most of them above) and other no names or obscured names have shown up and I think further formal listings or recognition of them is iffy. But is a fun set for recurring print defects.

The Martin proof version of the Yankee team card I posted above is a real tough one to find

Love this set too. All my childhood cards of it are beaters since I was 7 at the time . Rubber bands are murder on cards. I did get a vending box from Fritsch cards back in the 90s so I still have those and zero Rickeys from that. I opened up a few wax packs as well through the nineties with no luck. I had 2 sets that I sold 4-5 year ago that I wish I had back. The Rickeys from those were probably 7 or 8s but oh well maybe I’ll start it up again. Beautiful set and fond memories of childhood.
