Topps 1988 Baseball
The '80s were the gateway to the darkest age of baseball cards, defined by mass overproduction and stock photo image quality. Topps 1988 is among the worst offenders.

Still, this critique splits some very subjective hairs. What's important - the saving grace of most sets from that era - is that it contains something like 60 hall-of-famers! If nothing else, it's an accurate microcosm of card-collecting at the time. Use it to teach your small children about old superstars and statistics, or pair it with R.B.I. Baseball 2 (the one with the beefed-up Tengen developers team) or 3 (the one with division champion rosters from '83-'89) on the NES for a nostalgic. I also recommend reading WPG's in-depth, light-hearted analysis of the set.
