Favorite 80's Rookies

What are your favorite rookie cards from the 1980's.

I have an eBay search for 1980's Rookies and I was looking through it tonight and thought about what other's favorites might be.  The rule is that you can only pick one rookie for each players, so you can't choose the 84 Topps and 84 Donruss Mattingly.  You can only choose one.  No limit on how many players you include thought.  So let me know in the comments what you're favorites would be.

Here are mine...

1984 Topps Traded Dwight Gooden

1983 Topps Traded Darryl Strawberry

1982 Fleer Cal Ripken Jr.

 

These three go together in my mind so I'm sharing them as one image.  1983 Topps Tony Gwynn, Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg.

A difficult choice for me between the 84 Topps and Donruss, but I like the Donruss just a little more.

Here's another classic, the 1985 Topps Roger Clemens.

 

There are many choices for Barry Bonds rookies, but my favorite is the 1986 Fleer Update.  I just really like the colors and image on this card and that it's from 1986.

This is one of my all time favorite 80's rookies, the good ol' 1981 Topps Traded Tim Raines.

This list wouldn't be complete with this classic and beautiful card.  The 1980 Topps Ricky Henderson Rookie.  I loved this card when I was a kid.

One of the best athletes ever, Mr. Bo Jackson makes the list with his 1986 Topps Traded entry.

In memory of one of my favorites and one of the nicest guys in baseball, my pic for Kirby Puckett is his 1985 Fleer.

One of my childhood favorite players, Mr. Eric Davis gets the nod with the 1985 Topps classic.

This next one might turn some heads, but my favorite Ken Griffey Jr rookie is not his 1989 UD, but rather his 1989 Topps Traded.  I just like the whole card better, the colors, the photo, everything. 

My favorite Randy Johnson rookie is the 1989 Fleer error that show the Marlboro ad in the background  Sometimes it is more easily seen than other times.

I think I have to include the following card no matter what.  If you don't know about this card, google it. I'm not going into it here.

I'm sure there are a lot of other rookies from the 80's that I didn't include and maybe some of your favorites didn't make my list.  And maybe you don't agree with all my favorites.  Well, let me know in the comments and maybe I'll make another post with some of your favorites.  Let me know what you think of my pics.

Enjoy the hobby all...it's a great one.
