I have been picking up RC cards of current and future Hallof Famers. My question to you is, what, in your opinion, is the best RC cards. They don't have to be high dollar or vintage but obtainable. The one that sticks out he most to me is 1982 topps traded Cal Ripken (although it's not an RC) some others I really like are Topps , donruss, Fleer 1983,84,85 Mattingly, Gwynn, Puckett, Ozzie

i like gwynn 1983 topps

The best or most popular baseball rookie of all time would be 89 UD Griffey. 1984 fleer Puckett is another good one IMO. I personally would stay away from the steroid bunch.

1988 score rookie/ traded roberto alomar. i bought this set for 4.95 when i was 8 yrs old. A few years later got about $75 in trade for the alomar along with chris sabo at my local lcs. Later the same year I sold the mark grace for about $20-25 dollars at a show. About 5 years ago i picked the alomar up on ebay for $4. for sentimental reasons this is probably my favorite.
As a collector my favorite rookies i own is 1980 topps rickey henderson and 89 upperdeck griffey jr

[jhyde77]

Although they're not RCs, I like the '87 Bellingham Griffey and the '81 TCMA Rochester Redwings Ripken.

I have always liked the 80's Rookies as I grew up watching and collecting baseball in the 80's.

Topps: 85' Puckett, 83' Gwynn, 83' Sandberg, 83' Boggs, 84' Mattingly, 86' Traded Bo Jackson and Will Clark to name a few.....
