Completely Red: 1984 Topps/Topps Traded

When I started collecting in '91, I distinctly remember accruing a handful of 1984 Topps, particularly that Kelly Paris, and really thinking I had something old and valuable and cool. Now the 84's are all relegated to shoe boxes in attics, only to be uncovered, researched, found to be without value, and thrown away. There is still a place in my heart for them, however. They ain't bad at all. They were just given the unfortunate task of following a Hall of Fame set in '83. Live long, 1984 Topps. Live long.
