Product Details

User Rating:

1986 Topps Baseball doesn't get a lot of love in the hobby. It has a relatively weak crop of rookie cards and is still readily available by the case. Still, it has a distinct design that is unmistakable and some solid inclusions for those looking to complete a run of Topps Baseball sets or looking for a cheap thrill from the mid-1980s.

The 1986 Topps Baseball design is easy to recognize. Borders are mostly white except for a black background bar that takes up the top quarter of the card. The top of the card has the team name in bold block letters and colored according to the team's colors. A small circle at the bottom of the photo has the player's position. Finally, the player's name is written in caps across the bottom of the card.

Card backs are reddish in color with the player's name and vital info at the top. Complete major and minor league stats are provided. When space permits, cards also have a small writeup. Many cards also have an additional box called "Talkin' Baseball" that has a cartoon baseball and a small bit of trivia.

1986 Topps Baseball doesn't have any major rookie cards, although it has a handful from fan favorites and from players who made an impact for a few seasons. These include Cecil Fielder, Len Dykstra and Harold Reynolds.

Subsets include All-Stars, Record Breakers and Turn Back the Clock. Pete Rose, who broke the all-time career hits record late in 1985, has a six-card tribute that includes reprints of all of his Topps base cards from 1963 to 1985.

1986 Topps Baseball has a pair of insert sets. Glossy All-Stars fall one per rack pack. A separate set of Glossy cards were available through a mail-in offer. Collectors had to send in six different times to build a full set of 60 cards.

Today, he continues to build sets, go after inserts with cool technologies, chase Montreal Expos and finish off his John Jaha master collection.

There’s really nothing special about the card, I do like the black block and the name in caps. I do have a few cards with the RED BLOCK and on the Reverse side instead of the Card Number there is a Letter inside the diamond.

Personally I think this is the best design of the 80’s baseball wax. If the cards were scarcer they would iconic.

This set holds an very special place in my heart. The end of 1985, and 1986 were the years that made me card crazy for life. While 80s cards were mass produced, and are still very easy to come by, the ’86 Topps was the first set I completed strictly by purchasing wax and rack packs, along with the mail-in offers. I’ve been hooked ever since, and while there is nothing “special” about this set in the collecting world, this set is and will always be “special” to me.

This set is as ugly as 1971 set. Nice array of Rookies and second year cards. I have several sets of this product.
