These cards are hard to grade! They look good for 7’s!

Warren Moon was a prolific passer for the USFL before his hall of fame career in the NFL. These ‘85 Topps cards were amazing, but nearly impossible to gem based on those black borders! I still need to get a nicer high-grade signed copy for the PC!

Orel Hershisher has an unforgettable name and he was an unforgettable pitcher with many awards to his name. He was a great pitcher to watch on the mound. I loved the fact that he popped up at the Fanatics show in New York too! He seemed in tune with the hobby and even cracked jokes on his own cards.

How about this page of AL all stars from the 1985 Topps set?

Been following the 40th anniversary of Live Aid today. 😱 I watched it that day. Here's the first and last page of a set that came out that same year. Bought it complete in '85.
