Taylor's 1986 Topps card from his MVP + DPOY season — LT became only the second defensive player (after Alan Page in 1971) to win the NFL MVP. His 20.5 sacks in 1986 remain one of the most dominant individual defensive seasons ever recorded. The Giants went 14-2 and won Super Bowl XXI that season. 1986 Topps shares the set with Jerry Rice and Bruce Smith RCs — a premium 80s football set.
