Some images just stick in your mind. For me, it was this one from Prototypes. Also recall the electric milkfloat drawing - worst card in the pack, an absolute disgrace. Also remember an extremely menacing looking Messerschmitt from Warplanes. Anyone else have any personal faves, or cards they hated getting? May be difficult to source pictures - descriptions are fine....

Top Trumps were the glue that held primary schools together, surely? For boys, anyway. Forgot this one. Thanks to Goldstone Rapper...

I still remember Joe Corrigan was 6ft 4 and 1/2 as a result of top trumps.

Oh I was nowhere near that cool

I was expecting a comeback more along the lines of "Coming from you, with your job?" to be honest

The Liverpool badge. The Holy Grail of Panini in the 80's. Just Googling this made me feel incredibly nostalgic.

OMG Tinx, I had these and had totally forgotten about them. This was the card. Maybe we could get a card school up for the family stand?

Christ, I would be hard pushed to be persuaded to pay just the postage for these let alone the actual amount they are worth!
