Daniel Hillard

I think Mrs. Doubtfire is one of those movies you'd be hard pressed to find someone who says that they just don't care for it.  I remember we saw it at the theater as a family and countless times after with our VHS copy.

This card has fun with the opening scene where Robin Williams' pre-Doubtfire disguise "Daniel Hillard" character is being the 'cool dad' by throwing his young daughter a wild hip hop birthday house party complete with barnyard animals and dancing on top of the family dining room table to House of Pain's "Jump Around" -- much to the shock and horror of his wife who arrives home earlier than expected and thus becoming the final straw of their marriage.

This card joins the previous cards I've done set in the style of the 1991 ProSet Yo! MTV Raps set.  This card also marks the second card I've done featuring Robin Williams, who continues to be a beloved figure that's gone far, far too soon.

Best Of Times


Best of Times is a movie I've had requested a number times but I wanted to hold off until I got a chance to rewatch to be reacquainted with the characters and details. I finally got a chance to do that a couple of weeks ago after picking up a VHS copy.

These are of course done in the style of the 1986 Topps football set.  I gave the cards the color scheme used for the Jets because that's what the Taft Rockets' uniforms most reminded me of.

I didn't realize it before but '86 was a great year for football themed movies.  Between Best of Times, Lucas, and Wildcats you've got three 80's classics.  I've actually done all three movies in this Topps style, I just have to get around to completing the Wildcats set.
