1988 topps –
Big Baseball Cards

Sealed MLB trading card box, original from 1988. Legends like Bob Welch, Jack Morris and Roger Clemens played in the MLB and the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series against the Oakland Athletics at the end of the season. Legendary was the moment when Dodgers outfielder Kirk Gibson, injured in both legs, unexpectedly picked up his bat and hobbled to base to bat in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the World Series. Although he could barely stand, moments later he slammed the ball into the Los Angeles night sky and the Dodgers won the opening game through this pinch hitter walk off. This trading card box was marketed for topps and is officially licensed by the MLB. For more information see below.
