Description

We're joined in this episode by David McEllis, one half of the the podcasting duo (along with Matt Kuzma) who bring the world the abundantly entertaining show: 1988 Topps. McEllis and Kuzma do deep dives on one of the 792 cards from the 1988 Topps Baseball Card Set. You're able to find the show on Facebook (1988 Topps Podcast), Twitter (@Topps1988), and Instagram (@1988ToppsPodcast).

During our time with David, a Chicago-area native, we learn about his coming of age as a sports fan in the mid-1980s with a Super Bowl Shufflin' Chicago Bears, seeing Chicago White Sox games at the original Comiskey Park, and how FIFA World Cup video games hipped him to the Liverpool Football Club.

We also learn how 1988 Topps came to be, what the experience has been like, and what some of the most popular episodes have been.
