Year: 1988

Set: Topps - Collector's Edition (Tiffany) (Rate)

“ Topps Tiffany... OPC backing with Topps on the front. ” -Mike67

“ 1988 Topps - looked similar to 1966 Topps. ” -vrooomed

“ He was a Man's Man!!! ” -carthage44

“ Tiffany cards? What no Debbie Gibson cards? *RIMSHOT* Seriously back in the day when Tiffany cards were the rage sure I was into them, but now-days **Yawn** Not so much. I do like the '88 Topps design. Basic and simple. ” -captkirk42

“ Topps' most boring design since 1966. This is practically its own Heritage design. Aside from the errors that were briefly popular (Murray, McGwire, Leiter, Comstock), this set had little to recommend it to collectors. The Tiffany set is just putting lipstick on a pig. Why did my 12-year-old self buy so friggin' many of them? ” -DaClyde

“ The Rangers old roads lacked red, a color that they overcompensated for in their 1994 uni set. ” -jlaz10

“ LP was a favorite when I was a kid watching the Expos. Nice player. And as I said with the last Tiffany card...I like the nice clean back. ” -armac

I liked cards back in these days and earlier, when the card was about the player and not the graphics. You can easily read the card including the card # on the back and the name on the front. Too many new designs forgot these simple principles.

I wasn't a fan when these came out but I like them now more than ever. I didn't even collect that many due to my dislike of the design. But then an aunt and uncle bought me an entire wax box of them for Christmas. One of the best surprise gifts ever! Tiffany however was foreign to me. I didn't even know what it meant at the time. How did they decide to call it Tiffany anyway?

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
