1. Adam Starblind Posted: May 21, 2021 at 01:18 PM (#6020074)That only gets you to $2M.
I'd put my figurative money on billions and billions of 1988 Donruss commons. There's more of that in the universe than there is hydrogen.
You know what holds up though? Those 1987 Topps cards are still gorgeous.
Topps '80s designs, ranked:

I did like 86 and 85 a little bit. 83 was fun because of the rookies. I hate the wood look of 87 (like 62) which started a truly dreadful run that I only viewed in hindsight, having stopped collecting from 78-2015, notwithstanding a quick burst during the junk wax peak of 1988-91, (anyone interested in 25000 Greg Jeffries rookie cards?) and subsequently backfilling pre-71 and sporadically pre-2015. I also like 1990. That Griffey card always looked great.
I do look forward to seeing the art of the new base set card each year but it usually seems to disappoint and often hard to distinguish between previous seasons.
With a couple of exceptions, the run between 2005 and 2014 was pretty good.

If you read some of the comments from this site, you truly understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.......and that's not such a bad thing.
1988 Donruss did have the short-print Gregg Jefferies rookie card which was an insanely big deal c.1988-89 until Ken Griffey Jr came along and said, "Here. Hold my nerve tonic."
Those '87 cards were easily the best baseball card design of the decade.
I'm not particularly a fan of any of the 1980's Topps designs. 1987 left the player positions off the card front which was an interesting choice. My two favorite Topps designs are 1965 and 1977.
I also like 1990.
Check your temperature. My opinion has barely changed in 31 years. Bizarre color combinations. Dreadful printing quality. Card backs about as garish as you can come up with in 3 colors. My thinking at the time was, "THIS pile of cardboard crap is how Topps intends to compete with Upper Deck?!?"
