Now, about these cards... I have most of them so scans won't be a problem. A few others though don't know I have them yet and will take some tracking down. A very few others, I just don't got and it could be a while before I can get them. The Ripken, for one. And why Ben had to choose the Rickey Henderson rookie instead of the Gwynn... well, actually the 86 Gwynn is kind of an iconic card. And even Rickey knows that the 1980 Rickey is one of Rickey's favorite cards. Anyways, if you don't see the front and the back of a card it means I don't have it. If there's a Topps Head of the Class junk card in its place, it means I'm still looking. Contributions to the cause are welcome and will be duly noted. Now, on to the cards!

* While searching for images, I found and won this Mattingly rookie on eBay. Cards of a squirrel are selling for 100 dollars, but I picked up Donnie Baseball for a buck. This is what our hobby has come to. When I get the card in my grubby little hands I'll post a decent scan.
UPDATE - I got it. it's a little dinged up, but what the hell, it was a buck. Here's the eBay photo for posterity.
** Thanks to reader Greg A. for help with this scan!
*** Thanks to readers Greg A. and David for help with this scan!
† I never knew there was a yellow name version of this card! Anyone got a scan? UPDATE: Here's a little info on the Yellow Letter variations. They are apparently extremely scarce.
Bonus card: Eddie Murray's Record Breaker card has a variation, the error is up top, here's the corrected version with the text box.

Thanks for taking the effort to do this--great work!
I love that Sparky looks like he's performing the Jedi mind trick on his 1988 Topps card.
"These are not the Tigers you are looking for..."
This is awesome, thanks for doing this.
I love the record breakers cards, especially Henderson, Murray and Clemens.
I have sets from 80 to 84 and have scanned the two that are missing from this list. Can I email them to you?
gca - yes, please send them if you have them. You'll get credit for them in the post.
My e-mail should be in my profile.
Heya! I sent scans of the Joe card before I read the comments! Oh well, they are all yours if ya need em!
Is card #6 an actual card or the ballot for president of Del Boca Vista phase 2?
