The 1986 Topps Traded Baseball set - a faded crown jewel?

Excerpt

At one point, 1986 Topps Traded Baseball was one of the crown jewels of 1980s baseball card sets. Time, scandals and easy availability have brought it down several notches. However, there's still no denying the star power of the loaded checklist.

The roster of 1986 Topps Traded Baseball rookie cards is a roll call of greats from the late-80s through the mid-90s. Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco, Bo Jackson and Will Clark all have rookies in the set. The second tier includes Wally Joyner, Andres Galarraga, John Kruk, Bobby Bonilla and Kevin Mitchell.
