Is a 1987 Topps Tiffiany BB set worth much?

I was looking in my parent's basement (cedar closet) and came across the purple boxed set...

maybe $20

Underrated set in my opinion. I think Topps Tiffany is the way to go if you collect baseball from the 80's. Especially if they've been kept in a cedar closet.

It makes your collection smell great! Scent is a new PSA grading criteria. I feel sorry for those collectors who smoke.

Ya, and aromatic cedar is a natural bug repellant. That's what the old hope chest's were made out of, aromatic cedar. This would keep all those quilts fresh and bug free while they found their future husband.

thanks everyone, guess that all makes sense, especially the smoking and bug free environments.....

All kidding aside, I do think the Topps Tiffany sets from the 80's are great, collectible sets - that have investment potential. Just my opinion.

The sealed sets are worth much more than unsealed judging by ebay results.

The unsealed vary quite a bit from $20-$60 each from what Ive seen

Does anyone know the print run on the 1991 Tiffany set? Is it really that much rarer than the others?

There is a thread here somewhere from 2011 with estimated print runs for the Tiffany sets. I think it estimated 1991 as 2500 or less, and the next lowest run was for 5,000. Not sure if the info was accurate, most seemed to have come from SCD. I have all the Tiffany sets and traded sets, and do believe 1991 is tougher than other years
