so I bought a box of 1987 topps bubblegum cards, knowing 87 is real over printed and this box at $10 ($10 is not going to break me) and was wondering if I should have the honor of having fun and breaking it, just see what cards I get or if there is potential money in leaving this box unopened?

I heard there are some future stars in that year. There are no parallels so everyone will be clamoring over the regular issue prospects. I hear Mark McGwire is a beast, Mike Greenwell is the next Ted Williams, Rafael Palmeiro, Ruben Sierra and so many others. Barry Bonds has the bloodline to be a great hitter also.

I would open some of the packs for sheer enjoyment and nostalgia. If your willing to get rid of any mets cards from that break, let me know lol

Last week I opened 2 boxes of 1989 Donruss that I had found in a closet. Completely forgot they were there. Pulled 1 Griffey, 1 Johnson and couldn't complete the set - out of 2 boxes. Was also 5 cards shy of the MVP set. Real bummer.

Kept the Griffiey, Johnson, Schilling and Biggio and threw everything else into one of my many USPS large flate rate boxes of commons that will go in my shed until further notice.

But, real fun to open and take a look at all the "rated rookies" that they thought would make it big, but never panned out. I did pull 7 cards apiece of 2 of the rookies that were supposed to make it big, but were selling insurance or cars 2 years later.

I have seen pictures of McGwire and Bonds...too skinny to be great power hitters.
