1990 Topps and 1990 Topps Tiffany? What's the difference? Any help would be helpful.

"Tiffany" was the name given to Topps' high-gloss sets issued as an additional set for high-end collectors. The cards had the same checklists as the corresponding base sets, but used a white cardboard stock and a high-gloss finish. Print runs were limited, and the sets were sold through hobby channels only.

For baseball sets, Topps issued Tiffany sets from 1984-'90, but I don't know whether '90 was the only year they did Tiffany football.

1990 was the only year for topps tiffany in football. They are nice looking cards, IMHO!

BTW, the limited print run on the Tiffany sets was 5,000

Pretty sure that 90-91 was the only year for Tiffany hockey as well.
