Fun Cards: 1988 Topps Reggie White (NFL, baseball-style)

Reggie White should never have worn any uniform other than a Philadelphia Eagles uniform.

Fun Cards: 1988 Topps Herschel Walker (NFL, baseball-style)

The Dallas Cowboys trade of Herschel Walker to the Vikings was one of the first non-Bengals NFL stories I recall. It was a big deal, but it paid off in the end for America’s Team.

Fun Cards: 1988 Topps Rod Woodson (NFL, baseball-style)

Rod Woodson was the 10th overall pick in the 1987 Draft. Drafted ahead of the Hall of Famer were such NFL luminaries as Mike Junkin, Kelly Stouffer, and Reggie Rogers.

Fun Cards: 1988 Topps Flipper Anderson (NFL, baseball-style)

Flipper Anderson was a very good receiver. I’m not sure why he was never given a Pro Bowl nod.

Fun Cards: 1988 Topps Neal Anderson (NFL, baseball-style)

Neal Anderson took over for Walter Payton, and although no one could fill Sweetness’ cleats, he had a good run. Anderson was named to the Pro Bowl four straight seasons, starting in 1988.

Fun Cards: 1988 Topps Walter Payton (NFL, baseball-style)

Walter Payton retired in 1987, but he was requested by a Twitter user. Consider this a “career capper” card.

Fun Cards: 1988 Topps Jim McMahon (NFL, baseball-style)

NFL players don’t have the swagger of Jim McMahon nowadays. I miss Mad Mac.
