Set Content & Key Cards
The 1989 Topps Traded set captures mid-season roster moves and features some of the most significant debut and traded cards of the late 1980s:
- Ken Griffey Jr.: Seattle Mariners outfielder — Hall of Famer in his debut card; the key card of the set

Collectibility Note
The 1989 Topps Traded set is anchored by the Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, and John Smoltz debut cards — three Hall of Famers from the same set — making it one of the most debut-card-rich traded sets in the hobby. Complete sets in excellent condition are increasingly difficult to find.
