Year: 1987
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Flagship
Card Number: 773
Card Type: Base
The 1987 Topps set holds a special place in my heart as it's the first set I ever tried to put together. And I bought a lot of packs. Wax packs from my LCS, cello packs from the convience stores, rack packs from the grocery store. Plus the wood grain border reminds me of my fathers den decked out in the fake wood paneling. And of course the set brings back memories of the 1962 Topps. And I might have a fondness for the set as a Brewers fan with the backs of the cards featuring a Brewers color scheme.
The card backs feature a nice sized and well placed card number. This year marks the first year that Robin's stats over take the back of the card and don't allow for any more trivia or stat write-ups, instead the only bonus we get is the game winning RBIs that was placed on Robin's card last year and will be the only extra for year's to come.
Enjoying your Robin Yount blog. My older brother was friends with Tom Tellman, who pitched relief for Milwaukee in the early '80's. He was able to go to a couple games at County Stadium. I remember he met Paul Molitor and said his wife was a knockout. Dave B. at www.theherschelhoard.com
