This 1985 Topps set arrives with virtually every card autographed, with a boat load of HOFers, stars and tough signatures. Even the Father & Son subset arrives entirely signed, minus Dizzy Trout, who was impossible, and Bill Kunkel, who died in May of 1985 and his son Jeff has written “Praise the Lord” under his image. The All-Stars and Olympics subsets arrive 100-percent complete. The Checklist cards are also signed by a variety of commissioners (Peter Ueberroth signed two, Bobby Bobby signed two and Topps’ executive Sy Berger signed two). The total numbers reveal that an impressive 768 of the 792 cards in the set are signed.
