1980s mini-sets galore

Got a nice bunch of cards from a garage sale today. 5 small box mini-sets, 4 binders full of complete mini-sets, and a few loose cards as well, all for $25. Let's see how I did, and a sense of what might be up for trade:

1990 Donruss Rookies - needed almost the whole set.
1991 Donruss Rookies - needed well over half the set.
1992 Fleer Update - needed the entire set!
1992 Pinnacle Rookies - needed almost the whole set
1992 Pinnalce Mantle - needed the entire set!

Each of those boxes were a buck. I also bought four binders for $5 each. Each binder was meticulously labelled with the contents, making blogging them very easy. I included a card from the first page of each binder for visual interest.
1988 Topps All-Stars - already had the set. Anyone want a complete set?
1987 Topps All-Stars - already had the set. Anyone want a complete set?
1986 Topps All-Stars - already had the set. Anyone want a complete set?
1985 Topps All-Stars - I only needed Rice, Ozzie and Murphy. Rest of set up for trade.

A bunch of Star sets. Needed them all
1989 Score Young Superstars set 1 - already had the set. Anyone want a complete set?
1989 Score Young Superstars set 2 - just the opposite - I needed the whole set!
1986 Woolworth - I had just picked up the Schmidt from Al. Also already had Baylor, Mattingly, McRae and Winfield so they are up for trade too. Needed the rest.
1989 Star Mattingly/Schmidt - I didn't have any so I needed it. But see below:

He also let me look through some other boxes and pull out a few cards for free. I picked up three Star Don Mattingly sets. Turns out the one with Mike Schmidt was also in one of the binders so now I have an extra to trade.
 I know I needed a few key cards from 1986 Topps Traded. I had all three of these though so all are up for trade.
 Blogger flipped this sideways but I'm not going to bother flipping it back.Yes that is an autographed Gregg Jefferies card thrown in for free. I also picked up a couple of Sportflics cards. 1989 and 1990 are pretty hard to find compared to earlier years.
