WTTF: 1980s Topps Needs

Disclaimer: Links on this page pointing to Amazon, eBay and other sites may include affiliate code. If you click them and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.

Scobes, the cards I have for you come to $84 but I'm knocking off $14 to bring it to $70 because the 81 TT Valenzuela is 70/30 L to R. It is a NM card but for the centering. I also added the 1983 Topps Viola RC #586 ($2.50) and the 1984 Topps Van Slyke RC ($1.50)#206 which brings the total I have for you to $74.

How about the following in return?

1989-90 OPC #156 Gretzky $20
1987 Fleer All Stars #4 Clemens $6
1991 Fleer Pro Visions #1 Bonds $3
1992 Donruss Diamond Kings DK-% Ripken $6
1992 Ultra Award Winners #22 Griffey $8
1993 Fleer Major League Propects series 2 #4 Pedro $6
1993 Leaf Heading For the Hall #2 Gwynn $4
1993 Upper Deck
----Clutch Performers R3 Bonds $4
------Ioos Collection W13 McGwire $3
------1993 Future Heroes #60 McGwire #4
1994 Classic Crem of the Crop C11 Nomar $4
1994 Ultra Second Yesr Standouts #9 Piazza $6

Using my Michigan State Univesity Abacus (aka my fingers and toes) I came up with $74 to $74. All math is subject to review BTW.

If that sounds good and the math comes out right, go ahead and post it up and I'll try to get yours mailed tomorrow.

Hi -

Looks good. All is pulled except it looks like I no longer have this one:

1993 UD Clutch Performers #R3 Barry Bonds (SF) ($4)

Anything else to take its place? LMK. Thanks!

That'll be easy to replace. THe last card I eliminated to make us even was the 1993 Donruss Spirit of the Game #20 Robin Yount which also happens to be a $4 card. That'll do fine as a replacement.
 
On a whim I picked up 5 packs of 1988 Topps the other day at my LCS, for $1.99 each I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane....so I have 40,315,350,574,630,770 and 775....so they've been out of the pack for 24 hours...I hope that's pack fresh enough! 😁 Also have an extra 23 Heritage Willie Montanez Phillies on card auto I could throw in if you don't have one....maybe some Brewers in return? Also found 1989 #81,231,248,394,400,405,475,489,519,660,708 and 710....these are straight from a 500ct vending pack!

One of the many changes I saw in the hobby during the Pandemic was how unopened junk wax skyrocketed in price. Pre Pandemic you could buy boxes of junk wax for $3 to $4 and you often could not get rid of them for that! The odd thing is the individual cards really never rose in price or demand but the unopened stuff did.

It looks like all of the 1988s are pending in trade talks, but I can use these 1989s below. And I can definitely use that Montanez Auto! Check out my lists and let me know what you can use for it and the 1989s. LMK. Thanks!

@SymphonicMetal

Agreed! I remember seeing tables of $5 boxes (or 3/$10) at card shows before the pandemic and boy how they those prices blew up! They're still high. I was at a show this weekend and junk wax were at least $20 per.
