This lot features a factory sealed 1987 Topps Baseball Vending case with 24 boxes and 500 cards. This Vending Case is ‘Factory Sealed’ (Never Opened) and has been stored in a heated and dry storage since it was purchased in 1987. The Case is in the Near Mint to Mint + (NM/MT+) condition range with SHARP CORNERS and SIDES with NO MARKINGS.
The 1987 Topps Baseball Complete Set Checklist is 792 Player Cards. The Vending Case is randomly assembled with the 12,000 Player Cards, as stated, and generally, in most cases, will create several complete sets but there are no guarantees to the actual number. My experience has generally been between 10 to 12 sets while I have heard others have gotten a few more. At the very least you should pull multiple copies of the players you are searching for.
The Star Rookie Cards ‘RC’ of the 1987 Topps were Barry Larkin, Bo Jackson, Barry Bonds, Wil Clark, John Kruk, Bobby Bonilla, Ruben Sierra and several others. Larkin who will ultimately be selected as a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF).
The 1987 Topps Checklist also contains many other HOF members from this era including Mike Schmidt, Eddie Murray, Ryne Sandberg, Nolan Ryan, Robin Yount, Cal Ripken, Ozzie Smith, Greg Maddux, Tony Gwynn and George Brett.
Other All-time Greats include Don Mattingly, Roger Clemens, Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire to name a few.
