Dave Winfield 1988 Topps BIG
Back in the 1980’s, very few players across the big leagues were are as physically large as Dave Winfield of the New York Yankees.
Winfield stands 6 feet, 6 inches tall and weighed 220 pounds during his playing days.
Today, he was be considered slightly bigger than average, but by no means ‘enormous’.
But, back in 1988, he was ‘Big’. And rightfully so, he belonged in this 1988 Topps Big set. The cards are jumbo in size when compared to other Topps products, but if any player from the 1980’s deserves an oversized baseball card, it is ‘Big Dave’.

I was a huge fan of Topps Big and 1989 Bowman when I was a kid, but man they were awkward to store.
Matt- 100% spot-on! When I collected in 1989, I hated storing these cards in pages when everything else fit so nicely.
