Product Details

User Rating:

1988 Topps Baseball is largely shunned by today's collectors. Most of this comes from its seemingly near-endless supply.

In actuality, it's a simple and attractive set that many might view as a bargain.

1988 Topps Baseball Set Details

The 792-card checklist features several rookies, the most notable of which is two-time National League Cy Young winner, Tom Glavine. In addition, 1996 NL MVP Ken Caminiti has a rookie card in the set.

Subsets include Record Breakers, Future Stars, Turn Back the Clock, and All-Stars, which adds League Leaders on the back. The manager cards also double as team checklists.

The 1988 Topps Baseball design is one of the company's simplest. Large player photos have a thin-colored frame, which gives way to a white border. The player's name is in block letters in a diagonal strip at the bottom-right of the card. The team name stands out at the top of the card, hovering behind the player image.

Card backs are orange and have complete player stats. Many cards also have a caption called "This Way to the Clubhouse," which explains how the player came to join the pictured team.

A pair of insert sets are available in specific pack types. Glossy All-Stars cards are inserted once per Rack pack. Jumbo cello packs have a similar Glossy Rookies series at one per pack.

Collectors could mail away for a separate 60-card All-Star Collector's Edition Glossy set. It was offered in both ten-card lots or as a complete set.

Joining the standard complete set boxes, there is also the premium 1988 Topps Tiffany Baseball factory set. The reported print run is 25,000.

Obviously, this card set isn’t worth a lot due to the overprinting of the era. But I have great memories of being able to get a pack for 50 cents, and just opening it up and seeing who you get. There’s something nice about the idea of just collecting without concerning yourself about the current or future value of something.

Love this set. Lots of HOF’ers.

My first pack and set. Got a Glavine rookie in the first pack. I saw some unopened packs at a local store last week.

Yes they were way overproduced but they are nice looking cards and fun to collect. You can put together an entire set for almost nothing making it ideal for kids or those just entering the hobby. Compared to the drab and ugly 1988 Donruss counterpart this was a winner. This is one of those sets that you collect for simple enjoyment not to become rich on.

1988 was the year baseball card printing went from extreme to nuclear. Between Topps, Fleer, Donruss and the first year of Score they might have printed enough cards that everyone living then and born since can have a still unopened case. Sadly this was the 2nd run of cards I as exposed to as a child.
I feel BAD for Tom Glavine fans as his rookie is worthless unless you buy a Tiffany Topps or Fleer/Score Glossy. The design is clean and bright and easy to look at and there are a ton of HOFers to pull but they are worthless unless you can pull a rare 10 and manage to get it graded as such. If you have a desire for 1988 cards for whatever reason these and the Fleer are better options than the eye sore Score set and the Donruss set which I hope got someone fired for its pure overproduction, poor quality and what would you even call those blue/black checkered borders?
Anyways I pull the Glavine rookies and HOFers stuff them in a binder, hide it in my closet and figure 1 of 2 things will happen my great, great, great, great, great great grandkids grandkids, kids might be able to sell them for more than I wasted on them OR humanity will be extinct and aliens will find them as proof of our past culture.

Not particularly ugly, not particularly pretty. Despite having three millions of these things myself, still largely forgettable. Only redeeming quality for me personally, is the Tom Glavine rookie.

Yeah, this is one of the sets that I used for kindling one summer. As always, keeping at least one copy of each card in pristine condition. :D

Simple, detailed, easy to use. The only improvement could be current price listed by each card.

Should we collectors really throw out the majority of these overproduced era cards? Just wondering.
