eBay Wins #218

Now I finish off my pile of 1987 Topps with the last 52 cards. 48 are scanned here because there were 4 doubles.

1987 Topps
#499 Bruce Ruffin
#504 Mickey Hatcher
#505 Bryn Smith
#519 Curt Young
#521 Rick Reuschel
#525 Phil Bradley
#528 Ken Dixon
#536 Terry Mulholland
#538 Tom Niedenfuer
Tom Niedenfuer and Bryn Smith both eventually came to the Cardinals after these teams.

1987 Topps
#539 Reid Nichols
#541 Rafael Belliard
#549 Bob Melvin
#551 Frank Wills
#552 Larry Sheets
#553 Mike Maddux
#568 Earl Weaver
#574 Manny Lee
#592 Chris Welsh
I like manager cards, like this Earl Weaver, and future manager cards, like Bob Melvin.

1987 Topps
#604 Fernando Valenzuela
#614 Roger Clemens (x2)
#617 Al Nipper
#619 Jerry Reed
#623 Kurt Stillwell
#636 Darren Daulton
#641 Domingo Ramos (x2)
#650 Hubie Brooks
#655 Jesse Barfield
I didn't mention it before, but some of these cards were actually from 2 unopened packs I had in among my bargain purchases. The second Roger Clemens was one of those from the unopened packs.

1987 Topps
#658 Robby Thompson
#670 Jose Cruz
#682 Jerry Reuss
#685 Jerry Hairston
#689 Darrell Porter
#702 Greg Gross (x2)
#703 Dave Schmidt
#706 Rick Manning
#713 Tom Brookens
I can't seem to get cards from the 80s without picking up a Jerry Reuss.

1987 Topps
#714 Dan Quisenberry
#722 Bob Knepper
#734 Bill Madlock
#735 Rickey Henderson
#737 Floyd Bannister (x2)
#738 Jorge Orta
#748 Mike Flanagan
#762 Gary Ward
#768 Dennis Lamp
I'm always happy to get a Dan Quisenberry card, since I modeled my pitching motion after his. This was only for pickup games, of course. I'd bet any kids' team's coaches would probably discourage that style.

1987 Topps
#778 Jack Morris
#785 Terry Francona
#789 Dan Schatzeder
And we finish off with another future manager, Terry Francona.

Once again, these were in my half-cent box, so they add 26 cents to my eBay purchases.
