First of course - the sticker - I should put this on my lunch box

Mike Maddux
Greg Gagne
Don Mattingly Headliners
the Mattingly was the first Headliner card from this set that I had ever pulled or owned - that was exciting on its own - so now in the first 3 cards we have a perennial All Star that all Yankee fans think is a HOFer - not really quite there, but a very nice player and card nonetheless

Barry Larkin
Joe Carter
ok, 3 cards, 2 Hall of Famers , one of the 10 best shortstops of all time, and a feared slugger with a World Series walk off homer - not too shabby

Fred Manrique
Dave Meads
I think Andre is HOF bound next year - just a hunch

Tom Glavine
Rob Deer
A nice everyday catcher - an all or nothing slugger - and a future first ballot HOF - again - not bad

Kirk Gibson
Eddie Milner
its not too bad when out of every three cards pulled that the worst "best" card is of Kirk Gibson who was a great slugger in his era

See what I mean? Really from a pack from this era - this really was a great pack - I would have been thrilled to rip this when I was 7.

Nice pack--lots of HOF and future HOF players.
I have never seen those Headliners cards before. I wasn't collecting in '88.
I was at a flea market in '07 looking for baseball cards and came across someone selling that Glavine RC for $30! To say that flea market was caught in a time warp is an understatement, but there you go, you got a $30 card! ;-)
That's probably the best pack of '88 Fleer I've ever seen. The Glavine rookie is the best card in the set and I've never seen one of those Headliner cards until now. Very nice.
