This was the year Topps won by default. EVERY other publisher looked like they'd given up on designing nice looking cards and Topps was the only one with an ok look. I'll be honest, these looked fine and I might have picked them anyway (still better than anything 1988 had to offer) yet I also know it wasn't there best year either.
My brother told me that he ranks Topps cards for every decade. Starting with the 70s (the decade he was born in) to the current decade. I have to admit...that's pretty cool. For the most part, I guessed which designs were his favorite for each decade (but the last) and I'm thinking that may be something I'll pursue here on the blog at a later time.
The more I talk about this topic, the more I miss collecting them. With the loss of my gaming group (down to just me and one other person) my board game hobby has slowed considerably. I'm not sure if this is the hobby I'd like to get back into, but it does make me miss those days tremendously.
Anyway, have a good weekend folks! I'll come back next week to round out the 90s!
