My introduction to major league baseball came via the 1986 Topps sticker book. It was the first baseball thing I collected, any my first introduction to most players active in 1986 when I started following baseball came from these stickers. Unfortunately I did not keep my old sticker books but I have new ones for all of the 1980s Topps baseball sets and have occasionally been adding stickers. Sadly I did not have many for my favorite book, 1986, but I was able to somewhat rectify it with a lot of over 100 stickers for just $2 shipped.
In 1986 I collected maybe 2/3 or 3/4 of the stickers, so most of these photos are very familiar and bring back fond memories. It is also fun to see stickers I never got the first time around.
I wish I still had my sticker book from 1982. I almost had it complete...
ReplyDeleteI'll have to figure out (in time) any of those books that I still have. but it will be awhile for sure.
ReplyDeleteA. That photo of Mike Davis is awesome! If he were a tad bit more popular, it would be cool to see him appear on a Stadium Club card with that photo. I remember watching him play back in the 80's at the Coliseum.
ReplyDeleteB. Nice purchase. No way I'd pass up $2 shipped for this stack of stickers. Although I don't think I was still buying these by the time 1986 rolled around. All my money was being spent on packs of baseball cards.
Are you sticking them in the book?
