The 1986 Topps Traded Baseball set - a faded crown jewel?
1990 Topps Traded (Baseball)
Set Notes
Excerpt
The 1990 Topps Traded set was the tenth consecutive year that Topps issued a 132-card standard-size set at the end of the year. For the first time, Topps not only issued the set in factory set form but also distributed (on a significant basis) the set via seven-card wax packs. Unlike the factory set cards (which feature the whiter paper stock typical of the previous years Traded sets), the wax pack cards feature grey paper stock. Grey and white stock cards are equally valued.

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.
