| When will the 1990 Topps cards be available? Donn Jennings, in
Huntsville, Alabama is taking orders for them, but did not indicated
a timeframe for availability & delivery.
Will they be out in time for Santa to deliver a set to my son?

a card shop in Southern California, about a week before.

| 98.14 | Any Errors Yet??? | PNO::HORN | | Wed Jan 17 1990 20:36 | 1 |
| Have any topps 1990 miss-prints been found yet? If so, which ones.
|
| 98.18 | new checklists and ugly cards | 16930::GOULD_RO | | Mon Feb 05 1990 08:12 | 8 |
| Why are the new cards so ugly? They seem to get worse rather than
better. What happened to the checklists? It seems they are organized
by teams and not by number... What a mess, perhaps they are put
together by the same people who screwed up the DEC price book.
Does Topps checlist #6 list the all-stars,RB's and special cards?

| This guy by the name of Cecil Espy does anyone out there know how
much his error card is worthf If anyone out there wants to get rid
of their Topps Baseball cards I will be happy to take them off their
hands. I personally like them because, I like allbaseball cards.

Is the Cecil Espy error card the only error card Topps has? And
what happened to reply .22?

| Is there a card #9 and who is it? And has anyone gotten a Bo Jackson?
When will the whole set be available?
|
| 98.28 | Thanks, more q's. | GUCCI::SVILLARI | | Fri Mar 16 1990 16:37 | 4 |
| Thanks, a friend of mine told me that Topp's doesn't make a factory
set. I've seen them though. Does someone else collate them then?
If that's the case aren't they hand collated too? This stuff gets
more confusing the more I get into it. Thanks again.
|
| 98.29 | | DLO15::BOSSO | | Fri Mar 16 1990 18:30 | 7 |
| re:-1
Topps collates their factory sets (as far as I know) same as the other
manufacturers. Typically a hand collated set is one put together by a
collector or dealer.

I guess this goes in here. Does anyone have
information on the TOPPS collector sets - (1990 ALL-STAR, and
1990 20/20 Club) made just for the AMES department stores?
Thanks in advance for any help.

| 1990 Topps traded are out this year in wax packs. 7 cards to a pack,
the quality is the same as the regular issue unlike in years past.
The big name rookie are Justice, Maas, Ben MacDonald, Naehring, Sandy
Alomar, John Olerud. Out of two boxes I have 1 complete set and almost
a second. Probably had close to 3 but I didn't count the cards that
have wax damage. Also there is no gum in the packs. Anyone know where
to find boxes for 132 card sets?

Traded sets are going from $11 to $13 here in Mass. How much did you
pay for wax boxes and where did you see'em? With the cards that are in the
traded sets, you can look for prices to rise quickly . Is Fryman there?
|
| 98.35 | | NHASAD::BROUILLETTE | Think powder... | Fri Oct 26 1990 14:44 | 2 |
| I'm interested in the wax traded boxes. Where were these seen?
|
| 98.36 | | DEALIN::DIFONZO | | Fri Oct 26 1990 15:16 | 5 |
| Yes Travis Fryman is also in the set. The sets that some of you
have seen at shows do they come in the regular boxes?

| 98.37 | Brown boxes from Topps..... | WRKSYS::SCHWARTZ | | Fri Oct 26 1990 15:26 | 4 |

Yes they kind of look like the 84 traded set boxes. Brown. Would love
to see somebody hand me the wrong set. :-) You know what I mean? The
guy that "got" me the week before.

FYI
The Topps traded cards come in two varities... If you buy the sets
you'll get a 'white' back... If you buy the wax packs you get 'yellow'
back...

????? What did I miss here? The ones that I have are yellow backed
and come in the standard traded box that is usually issued to dealers.
Toys R Us had the sets in a package that I had never seen before. The
box was wide in width and narrow in depth and came in a green box.
The cost was up there at $16.95 a set. Almost double what I paid for
the standard cards.

| 98.41 | | WRKSYS::SCHWARTZ | | Mon Oct 29 1990 15:14 | 4 |

Thanks John. They must be well hidden. I had not seen any before.
Very pricey though at $16.95 when you can get the regular for $9
if you shop around.

| Article I read recently in a local paper said that in 1991 Topps would
issue it's traded set in wax packs. I wasn't aware they were out there
this year. Must be a test.

| I don't know if the Traded cards are a test issue or not but I saw them
at a card show this weekend and they were selling for 50 cents/pack. No
dealer markup or hype , FWIW.

| I got 3 packs, and got 2 Cecil Fielders, so I don't have a lot of
motivation to get any more, except for a Travis Fryman... I'll
probably get the box set anyway...

Just curious. Were the traded wax higher quality than those of regular
wax? Did you have to throw away cards because of wax stains?
|
| 98.46 | | DEALIN::DIFONZO | | Tue Oct 30 1990 13:41 | 3 |
| Every pack had 1 wax stained card.

| 98.47 | Wax Traded Scarce??? | QBUS::T_ROCCA | Read my lips, no second term... | Wed Oct 31 1990 01:18 | 7 |
| Show on Sunday just north of Atlanta had a run on the Traded Wax Packs.
Only one dealer had any at all and he sold out just after they opened
the doors. Seems there was an article in the paper saying that Topps
would only put out so many traded waxes. Some of the dealers I spoke
with didn't know Topps was putting the traded cards out other than
sets. They need to read this file and get educated, like I try to do.
Thanks to all the contributors...

| I could be wrong but I don't think the Traded wax are scarce. Two
things tell me this. First at a show I went to this weekend , some
dealers did have traded wax and they were selling for 50 cents a pack.
I don't remember people scooping them up either. And secondly , the
wholesaler I get my cards from had the wax packs out front, usually for
scarce things like 1988 and 1989 Fleer baseball cards he has held these
in another room and only offers them to "loyal" customers. Please don't
shoot me if you could have put you children threw college with money
you could have made on traded wax though :^)

| 98.50 | Rookie Debut Set | ESKIMO::RNEWCOMB | Buffalo Bills - AFC East Champs | Wed Jan 02 1991 13:32 | 10 |

I saw an ad over the weekend in the Globe for the Topps 1990
Major League Rookie Debut Baseball set. This is a 171 card
set of all the rookie debuts from 1990. It looks like they
took the regular issue of the rookie card and reprinted them
with the Major League Debut logo and date in the upper left
corner. Has anyone seen these (or the 1989 set) and are they
worth $19.95??
