The Lost Box of Total Awesomeness - A Mess 'O 87 Topps

I've been staring at this pile of 1987 Topps on my desk for a week and for the life of me I can't figure out what to write about it. Now, 246 different 1987 Topps card is undoubtedly awesome, that's not in dispute. That's nearly a third of the set! Plus a lot of 'em are bent, like the Palmiero rookie. Aaaawwweeesssooommmeeee... I think I'm just paralyzed by the awesome. I tried pulling the more awesome cards from the pile, but I ended up with over 50 cards, all of which were pretty damn awesome. Unfortunately I've got an awesome box to dissect and I can't be fooling around forever. I opened up the scanner bed, chucked 'em all in the air and scanned the ones that fell on the scanner. All but ONE fell face down. Totally awesome. Here's a buncha '87 Topps, feel free to use for your desktop wallpaper or just print it out and frame it to hang over the mantle.


Also found amongst the awesome was a ticket stub from that hockey team I was talking about way back here. I don't remember who won this game or even if there was a fight, but I do remember that some lady got nailed with a hockey puck. Actually thats very not awesome. Kinda sad in fact. Actually this post is terrible, forget you even read any of this. I'm not doing a very good job of conveying the astoundingly extreme awesomeness of this lost box am I.

Hey, they won the game over Huntsville! That's a little awesome.
