More set notes

Only three baseball players, but some very significant non-baseball cards mark this set.

The 1988 U.S. Olympic baseball team joins rookies and traded veterans.

Focusing on more than 150 years worth of America's most famous movers and shakers.

This set consists of 792 standard-size cards. Cards were primarily issued in 17-card wax packs, 50-card rack packs and factory sets. Card fronts feature wood grain borders encasing a color photo (reminiscent of Topps classic 1962 baseball set). Subsets include Record Breakers (1-7), Turn Back The Clock (311-315), All-Star selections (595-616), and Team Leaders (scattered throughout the set). The manager cards contain a team checklist on back.
