• The kings of the '80s

More than five years ago, I wrote a post titled "The Kings of the '70s" in which I determined which players had their own Topps cards for every year of the 1970s -- 1970 through 1979.

I realized doing the '70s post that while I adore that decade as the one in which I discovered baseball and I have great fondnes...2026

• Obsessive comparing with the king

In my continuing quest to plug the gaps as far as any baseball card set issued during my youth, I recently landed the 1980 Burger King Pitch, Hit & Run set. Like the Burger King team sets of the late 1970s/1980, this set's design was produced by Topps and used the flagship design from the year of issue. As a youngster, I was well-aware of the Burger King team sets, but I don't recall kn...2026
