can't answer the 71 topps ? however the 84 Donruss were horded by the dealers which left very few if any to be found in stores where a kid could but em for the .35 cents a pack they retailed. The Dealers would sell em for $1 or more if I remember correctly. 84 Don Mattingly Donruss was the top card from that set. Everyone wanted it. Now I think its not nearly worth what it once was. It used to be close to $100 i do belive.
Sportsflics concept never really took off. It could never rival the big 3 back then with that style.

Obviously most of the older cards had the stains because of the gum that was packed, and that year could of just been a complete screw up. As for the other 2 questions, I have no idea, I didn't/don't mess iwth baseball much and also before my time of collecting as I started about as good of a year as you ever could, 1984 for Football..........Dan Marino Rookie.........John Elway Rookie.......John Elway Rookie.........Eric Dickerson Rookie........Also Howie Long and Roger Craig, although their value was/is much less.........

I do think that "Pro Set" redefined the hobby/industry when they put out their first cards in 1989 because they were absolutely beautiful compared to what had been out for so many years. Score also helped with their "limited" set (for back then) with in which Barry Sanders Rookie was the key card with value.....
