1988 Topps #398, #406 and #407 |
When opening packs of 1988 Topps back in the day, I was actually surprised to see Shane Rawley on an All-Star card. Rawley had made the All-Star team back in 1986, but my young mind just never really thought of him as a true All-Star. This probably wasn't fair to him, as he did have one of his better seasons in 1987, going 17-11 with a 4.39 ERA.
