I guess you could say I've been working on the Topps '86 set since I started collecting cards in 1986. I've probably owned the set in its entirety a few times over but it was never organized until a few months ago. Two of the three cards I was missing were cards #51 and #171. I wanted to wrap this set up so I was searching on eBay for an auction that could call the cards in a single purchase but I was having trouble finding a listing for those two cards anywhere. Plus, there weren't any listed on Checkoutmycards.com. So randomly searching around I found this page and I had my "everything you know is wrong" moment. Turns out the 1986 Topps set doesn't have a card #51 or #171 a fact that alluded me for 24 years. I searched my binder, got the commons out, and discovered that I was really only missing one lonely card.
Here are the two #57s. Bobby Wine should have been #51.
1986 Topps #57 Bill Doran
Here are the two number #141s. The Chuck Tanner card should have been #171.
Now, Ed Lynch, you will be mine!

That '86 set was the first one I was able to complete through wax packs the year it came out. I remember going through about 15 extra packs to find Mickey Tettleton. At 35 cents a pack, I hate to think about how much money was wasted on putting that set together.
