My first pack I ever bought of 89 upper deck had the Ken Griffey jr in it. At the time it was going for $10 bucks.

Love your picks ! Agree with the Griffey. So many collectors entered the hobby because of that card!

86 Canseco rated rookie was a big card. That was a 300 dollar raw card back in the day

They're gonna be coming for you with pitchforks!!! Great to hear from you, amigo.

Great to see you back and thank you for sharing your list! Great choices.

I have #1 (89 UD Ken Griffey Jr) and #10 (80 Topps Rickey Henderson) and agree with their impact on the hobby. What I appreciate about your list is #1 is an iconic card that most collectors can actually afford to own. Iconic goes beyond rare and that’s what makes your #1 the right pick IMO. Well done!

Good to see you back.

I've enjoyed a bunch of different lists. Some are like yours, and have a couple cards unlike others. Which I enjoy. Putting Griffey at #1, though! What a choice!

Wrong about h Wagner not being a smoker. He was a smoker

I wouldn't put Billy Ripken on the list. top 10 cards of the 80's that's a difference story.
