Greetings all.
Something has sparked my interest in baseball cards again in the last several weeks. So I dug all my cards out of a closet at my parents house and have been in the process of organizing, looking through them, and reliving some of my childhood.
Turns out that I'm pretty close to a complete set of '89 Topps (need less than 75 cards).
My strange request is this. Does anyone remember when Topps did little sets for toy stores and drug stores? Well, I've got a stack of 1988 Topps Leage Leaders from Revco. I know it can't be worth much if anything at all, but I remember buying a pack or two every time I'd go to Revco (why I was frequenting Revco at seven years of age I don't recall). And it's nice to see glossy fronts several years before the base set went to a better quality stock and finish.
I'm missing two cards of the 33 card set, and just for fun I'd really like to try and come up with the missing cards.
The cards are:
#17 - Mark McGwire
#23 - Brian Downing
If anyone's got them (both preferably) I'd be willing to send a couple bucks to cover time and effort spent digging them out and postage. And if anyone else is missing a few cards from this wonderful set, I've got multiples of just about everything else.
Thanks.

Can't wait 'til it gets here.
