The 1986 Topps Traded Baseball set - a faded crown jewel?
1984 Topps Traded (Baseball)
Set Notes
Excerpt
In its now standard procedure, Topps issued its standard-size Traded (or extended) set for the fourth year in a row. Several of the year's top rookies not contained in the regular set are pictured in the 1984 Traded set. Extended Rookie Cards in this set include Dwight Gooden, Jimmy Key, Mark Langston, Jose Rijo and Bret Saberhagen. Again this year, the Topps affiliate in Ireland printed the cards, and the cards were available through hobby channels only in facotry set form. The set numbering is in alphabetical order by player's name.

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.
