This lot features a factory sealed 1989 Topps Baseball Vending Case with 24 boxes and 500 cards. This Vending Case is ‘Factory Sealed’ (Never Opened) and has been stored in a heated and dry storage since it was purchased in 1989. The Case is in the Near Mint to Mint + (NM/MT+) condition range with SHARP CORNERS and SIDES with NO MARKINGS.
The 1989 Topps Baseball Complete Set Checklist is 792 Player Cards. The Vending Case is randomly assembled with the 12,000 Player Cards, as stated, and generally, in most cases, will create several complete sets but there are no guarantees to the actual number. My experience has generally been between 10 to 12 sets while I have heard others have gotten a few more. At the very least you should pull multiple copies of the players you are searching for.
The Star Rookie Cards ‘RC’ of the 1989 Topps are Craig Biggio, John Smoltz and Randy Johnson who have all been selected as members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF). Other Rookie Cards in the 1989 Topps include Gary Sheffield, Jim Abbott and Robin Ventura.
The 1989 Topps Checklist also contains many other HOF members from this era including Mike Schmidt, George Brett, Eddie Murray, Ryne Sandberg, Nolan Ryan, Robin Yount, Cal Ripken, Ozzie Smith, Greg Maddux and Tony Gwynn.
Other All-time Greats include Barry Bonds, Don Mattingly, Roger Clemens and Mark McGwire to name a few.
