BIGGER is better!

My ex-girlfriend would always mumble the same damn thing in her sleep...

Bigger is better! Bigger is better! Bigger is better!

And I never truly understood what she meant until I ran into this 1985 Topps Super #7 Dwight Gooden:

This lengthy piece of cardboard measures a whopping 5" x 7"... which is much bigger than your average piece of cardboard. However... outside of size, it's hard to tell the difference between the fronts of the regular issue Gooden and his oversized counterpart.

Topps Super Regular Issue

But there are a few differences between the two cards on the back. First, they're numbered differently. The quality of ink also separates the two cards and finally, Topps decided to add 1984 N.L. Rookie-of-the-Year to their super-sized version.

Happy Saturday and sayonara!

1985 Topps Super Baseball

It's a pretty awesome set... especially if you're a fan of the design. It's too bad they didn't include Puckett or McGwire.
