Sorry I have fallen behind here, in terms of giveaways and polling of the best card in the set.
Anyway, here is what I think will be the final giveaway for this blog.
You're getting cards #651 through #792 of the 1988 Topps set. Included are Fernando, Tom Glavine, Dave Stieb, Ruben Sierra, Lou Whitaker, Mike Scott, A's Leaders with McGwire and Canseco, Bo Jackson, Kevin McReynolds, John Franco, Danny Tartabull, Tim Raines, Daaaaa-ryyyyl, Fred Lynn....and a whole bunch more.
You're also getting packs I recently ripped over on
A Pack A Day. They are a
2006 Topps Bazooka pack,
a 2007 Topps series 1 pack with some seriously dinged cards, a
1983 Fleer Cello pack with a bunch of HOFers, as well as a 1988 Fleer cello pack and 1988 Topps jumbo pak. These last two packs have been ripped and will post to APAD in coming weeks.
So, to win this swag, you need to pick
the last name from which you can assemble the best team of players from the regular 1988 Topps set (not traded.) This contest is the same as the one from last time except that you are limited to
last names only. Check
the previous contest for rules on how to do it. I'm looking for
the best collection of talent, not necessarily the most complete team. I'll leave this contest open through Monday 9/29 and declare a winner from the comments.
