As a Phillies fan who grew up in that era Lenny was one of my favorite players. I was lucky enough to get him to sign his rookie card for me back in the 90’s.

Thanks! I agree about the Buckner picture! I always like the picture of Doc Gooden from this set.

That’s right! I always forget about his card in the 87 set! Good info. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words and so glad you enjoy the videos and my commentary! I’ll have some new videos posting soon.

@@classicwaxsportscards9440 Hello Classic, I really enjoyed the whole hour of your YT Channel show with the mid 1980’s unopened Topps cards. You have some interesting and funny moments for sure talking about many of the same ball players that I also used to watch growing up in that era. I couldn’t agree more with your thoughts about certain borderline players being voted into the HOF, over other ball players who imo are unfairly not being voted in the HOF. # 5 in Cincinnati was my first fave player I remember watching playing ball on the saturday mornings game of the week on tv when I was like 8 years old lol, the modern catcher who absolutely redefined that position in the 1970’s, from the old into the new. Also my favorite baseball team growing up in that era was the Athletics, back when the two divisions in each league was still the AL West/AL East and the same two divisions in the NL. Something about the inter divisional play being separate until the World Series just was something that I felt MLB shouldn’t have changed. I know baseball had to eventually evolve expand and change with the times, but still 🤔 oh well like Sammy Sosa said later in the 1990’s “baseball been very very good to me” lol 🤷🏼‍♂️

You are correct! I forgot about John Franco’s 85 topps card

Thanks! I was always a big fan of Keith as well even though I was a Phillies fan. Those late 80’s Mets teams were a lot of fun to watch.

Nice! Thanks for your order, I’m sure you are going to really enjoy them! I grew up just outside of Philly in the 80’s and Pete was the missing link on our 1980 Phillies team that finally got over the hump and won the World Series… So I get what you mean about him being Babe Ruth.. he was very highly regarded around our parts as well.

@Classic Wax Sports Cards that's awesome! My first baseball game ever was Reds v Phillies when Pete came back to Cincinnati for the first time. Though a diehard Reds fan, always pulled for the Phillies and especially loved 83 when they added Morgan & Perez

@@TheTylerpoe nice! Yes our 83 team had a lot of the old Reds players. We almost won it in 83 with that group!

😂the aroma was pretty pungent

Doubtful. 86 topps is a tough set to get 10’s with the black borders.

Definitely I do agree not the best set from the 80’s but the design is nostalgic for a lot of people. Wish there were some good rookies but they all went into the 86 traded set

The pitch clock is definitely gonna take some time for me to get used to and I’m not sure how I’ll end up liking it but overall I’m hoping the rules will help bring the game more action. I got a little tired of the way it’s been lately with just home runs or strikeouts and walks.
