18 packs per box, 91 cards plus one stick of gum per pack

1988 Topps is a 792-card set. One of the blander sets of the era, '88 Topps' long-run value has been hindered by the lackluster design, paucity of decent rookies, and overproduction -- as it was the dawn of The Junk Wax Era. Subsets include Record Breakers (1-7), All-Stars (386-407), Turn Back the Clock (661-665), and Team Leaders (scattered throughout the set). The manager cards also double as team checklists.

The key Rookie Cards in this set are Ellis Burks, Ken Caminiti, Tom Glavine, and Matt Williams.
