My original plan was to open a rack pack at a time and post about it. The plan went well for a little while, but at the time I had a little time off work and had a lot of free time. I’ve taken those posts’ down and am going a new direction. I went ahead and opened the 24 rack packs and have put the cards into a binder. I thought I would be closer to a full set of 792, 1987 Topps cards but I’m still a bit away, 168 cards to be exact. So now I will post about my mission to acquire the 168 missing cards and will post random stuff about 1987 cards.
