As with all Tops Traded sets, cards keep the same design as the flagship set. That means the wood grain borders are back. Card backs are also the same except for brighter card stock. A 'T' suffix on the number differentiates 1987 Topps Traded Baseball cards from those of the flagship set.
The 132-card set is led by the Greg Maddux rookie card, which accounts for the majority of the set's value. Other notable rookies include Matt Williams and Ellis Burks. Fred McGriff and Benito Santiago are also in the set. However, because both appeared in 1986 sets, neither are rookies.
Key 1987 Topps Traded Baseball Cards:
- Greg Maddux RC #70T
- Matt Williams RC #129T
- Ellis Burks RC #14T
- Terry Steinbach RC #117T
- Reggie Jackson #52T
