I thought the Tiffany sets were made in Tibet?

yankeeno7

What I can tell you is that they are thicker stock and the cardboard is white stock. I dont know anything about where they were printed. Would those possibly be those mini UK sets?

artimus

the set is unopened.....i am sitting here...not opening it....lol...i was hoping i could tell before i open it.....not a big deal really.....but i would like to know if possible....

CDsNuts

Yes, the Tiffany sets were made in Ireland.

artimus

were the regular sets also made in ireland....or just the tiffany sets.....?

CDsNuts

Just the Tiffany. I think the print run is less than 5000 for your set. Unfortunately Bagwell, Irod (Ivan Rodriguez) and Lugo (Luis Gonzalez) have all lost steam over the past 5 years. Still a decent set, but 5 years ago it was worth about 4 times as much.

thanks for the help......i have some other cards i want to get graded first.......then i will decide whether or not to rip into it.....i appreciate the answers..

CDsNuts

No problem. For what it's worth, a sealed set is worth around $100-125. You're not going to do much better than that unless the Bagwell or Irod are 10s. I'd keep it sealed. Not many of these unsealed around these days.

Sorry, I may be wrong. I found other Traded sets that say they were printed in Ireland. The Tiffany Traded sets have a much fancier box and were distributed with collophane wrapping that says Topps on it. A 1991 Tiffany Traded Set will be in a blue box like the on in this auction. Sorry for the misinformation.
