The Big Red Machine held at 4 guys with 1988 Topps cards, but went down from 7 total cards to 5 total cards. Pete Rose had his last player card in 1987, so we were left with manager cards of Sparky & Rose, player cards of Griffey Sr. and Concepcion, and Griffey was featured on the Braves Team Leaders card. These are actually some pretty pedestrian photos, though I like the Sparky card capturing him sending out directions from the dugout. Or posing like he’s doing so.
