    1987 Topps Turn Back the Clock - Rickey Henderson #311

    Wild Guess - I know it is a Topps Turn back the clock. I can't figure out where the 8 comes in, I figure it was part of a 1980's card reference. I hope that helps anyone else

    You're wrong but not far off.

    Kevin from Orioles Cards got it immediately and sent it via chat...I asked him not to post the answer to give someone else a chance. He correctly pointed out that this could possibly be TWO DIFFERENT cards.

    Yeah you guys got them.

    See here and here for the originals.

    I intended it to be the Jim Rice since I just cropped out the central region of the card, leaving the white border. But either answer is good since they both have the "8" in the corner as part of either "1968" or "1978."

    Starting tomorrow, they are going to be much harder, ala Shopped Cards #1 which took weeks to be solved. I'm going to do a new 20 questions format where posters get to ask questions and i'll answer yes or no.
