Best Baseball Card Sets of the 1980s

So this is the companion post to Worst Baseball Card Sets of the 1980s.  Just a reminder: major releases only, base cards only. Let's get to it.

10.  1986 Topps:  A front design that stands out from previous Topps releases.  I like it, though I can see how others might not.

9.  1986 Fleer:  Kind of similar to '86 Topps - good front design but not much else.  

8.  1985 Donruss:  Decent front design, with the year as a nice bonus.  Also, a white background for the stats section. 

7.  1989 Fleer:  One of my favorite front designs of the decade. 

6.  1986 Donruss:  Another one of my favorite front designs of the decade.  Again with the white background for the stats section, but this time with a better outer color than '85.    

5.  1984 Topps:  Decent front design.  A lot of action shots (with a head shot bonus). 

4.  1983 Topps:  Decent front design.  A lot of action shots.  Similar to '84 Topps, which might explain why they're adjacent in the rankings.. 

3.  1989 Score:  I like the front design.  A lot of action shots.  Color photo on the back and a white background for the stats.  

2.  1989 Upper Deck:  I like the front design.  Decent posed to action shot ratio.  Largish color photo on the back.  White background for the stats. 

1.  1988 Score:  I like the front design (which looks even better in a group).  The set is dominated by action shots, and to a lesser extent, pseudo action shots.  Color photo on the back and a white background for the stats.  

 

These rankings are indisputable!  Until I change my mind.
