This item may be very rare…OR it may be very common. I don’t know! Here’s the story: I’ve had this forever (probably since 1990) and I have no idea where I got it from. To me, 1990 is practically yesterday. I don’t think of it as old. It looks like it’s worth all of a dollar to me, but I always like to check these things before doing anything with them because over the years I’ve gotten so many items directly from people or families related to card companies and printers that sometimes items that don’t look special to me, when I check them out, I find they actually are of special note and rarity. I was t expecting anything when I looked this sell sheet up….but I just couldn’t find another anywhere. Not pictured. Not for sale. Nothing. Maybe I just wasn’t looking in the right place or using the words needed for a successful search. Maybe it’s SO common that no one is interested in picturing it on the Internet! I dunno. I did find a web page that seemed to have everything on the set (one of many pages providing comprehensive info and links related to recent sets). Here’s the 1990 traded set link:


https://www.tcdb.com/SellSheets.cfm/sid/148/1990-ToppsTraded-GrayCardStock(PackVersion)


They’ve got links to everything from packaging to checklists to a general overview, a list of hall of Famers, a gallery of front and back scans of every card in the set….ETC! And with the links there is one that doesn’t do anything. It’s not a live link. That one is the “Sell Sheet” link that is live for other sets. That’s as close to finding another 1990 Topps Traded sell sheet that I got.


OF SPECIAL NOTE: this sheet pictures one card. Mark Langston of the Angels. I looked up Mark Langston’s card (I don’t even know why but I did) and I found that the card on the sell sheet is a totally DIFFERENT POSE than the issued card! This all alone makes this sell sheet extremely interesting.


IN CONCLUSION: this sell sheet is either wildly overpriced and of virtually no value. (If I find this out I will take this listing down! Please write if you have any information!) OR it’s really rare and special and a great bargain!


If you buy this and later find out it is common…I will refund your purchase price AND you can keep it! I can’t do any better than that.


I’ve had fun writing this unusual listing. I wrote it very quickly (so I apologize for any spelling or grammar errors). I hope you have enjoyed reading it!
