My 80's star autograph collection is at a standstill so Im showing it off...

Like many I grew up watching the game in the 80's, mainly the late 80s.

I had a few favorites of the time in Eric Davis, Jesse Barfield, Ryne Sandberg, and most of all Canseco..

When the reprint autos became popular in 2001 with Archives and Donruss recollections, it opened up the possibility of owning autos of the stars I watched on at worst, a reprint of an 80s card, at best an actual rookie card. Eventually Archives became a staple, Recollections came and went and came back with Panini, Topps added Fan Favorites, Originals and the recent Archives Signature Series, and even Leaf came out with 2013 Memories autos.

There's no Harper's, or Trout's or Correa's, but I hope the fans of 1980s baseball enjoy.

So, here we go. Hope the pics show ok.

Mattingly 2001 Archives

Sandberg 2001 Archives (one of my favorites since I watched a ton of Cubs games on WGN)

More a star of the 70s than the 80s but whatever. Bench 2001 Team Topps Legends

Gwynn 2002 Diamond Kings Recllections

Bo 2002 Archives

Kirby 2002 Archives (one of my favorite cards)

Mr Beane 2004 Fan Favorites. Definitely not a star of the 80s but I thought it was a a cool card.

Barfield 2004 Originals

Hit King 2013 Leaf Memories (took me a while to find one of Pete)

Clemens 2013 Leaf Memories RC

Canseco 2013 Leaf Memories

Will Clark 2013 Archives

2014 Recollections Autographs was a good release for me.

McGriff RC

Canseco RC

Joe Carter RC

Boggs RC

Eric Davis RC

Gooden RC

Canseco 2014 Archives

And we will finish off with 2015 Archives Signature Series

Strawberry

Canseco

Not an 80s card, but its Canseco so that's good enough for me

There's still a ton of guys to go for (Trammell, Dale Murphy, Brett, Yount, Whittaker, Schmidt etc etc etc comes to mind), but in due time.
