This set marks Topps tenth consecutive year of issuing a 792-card standard-size set. Cards were primarily issued in wax packs, rack packs and factory sets. The fronts feature a full color player photo with a white border. Topps also commemorated their fortieth anniversary by including a 'Topps 40' logo on the front and back of each card. Virtually all of the cards have been discovered without the 40th logo on the back. Subsets include Record Breakers (2-8) and All-Stars (386-407). In addition, First Draft Picks and Future Stars subset cards are scattered throughout the set.

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.
