1988 Topps Traded (Baseball)

Set Notes

The 1988 U.S. Olympic baseball team joins rookies and traded veterans.

Excerpt

The standard-size 1988 Topps Traded set was distributed exclusively in factory set form in blue and white taped boxes through hobby dealers. The cards are identical in style to the Topps regular issue except for whiter stock and T-suffixed numbering on back. Cards are ordered alphabetically by player's last name. The set sparked added interest when it was first released due to the inclusion of the 1988 U.S. Olympic baseball team. These Olympians are indicated in Beckett checklists by OLY.
