The 1986 Topps Traded Baseball set - a faded crown jewel?
1971 Topps Set (Baseball)
Set Notes
Excerpt
The cards in this 752-card set measure 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". The 1971 Topps set is a challenge to complete in strict mint condition because the black obverse border is easily scratched and damaged. An unusual feature of this set is that the player is also pictured in black and white on the back of the card. Featured subsets within this set include League Leaders (61-72), Playoffs cards (195-202) and World Series cards (327-332). Cards 524-623 and the last series (644-752) are somewhat scarce. The last series was printed in two sheets of 132.

Only three baseball players, but some very significant non-baseball cards mark this set.
The 1988 U.S. Olympic baseball team joins rookies and traded veterans.
Focusing on more than 150 years worth of America's most famous movers and shakers.
This set consists of 792 standard-size cards. Cards were primarily issued in 17-card wax packs, 50-card rack packs and factory sets. Card fronts feature wood grain borders encasing a color photo (reminiscent of Topps classic 1962 baseball set). Subsets include Record Breakers (1-7), Turn Back The Clock (311-315), All-Star selections (595-616), and Team Leaders (scattered throughout the set). The manager cards contain a team checklist on back.
