thanks jim

i saw that too… it was the “mail-in” part of that description i found odd. and the fact that the boxes dont say “limited edition” or reflect the unique stamps.

i think you/we are right and it’s not exactly a crazy amount of money to find out…was just hoping someone had opens one of these suckers up

Sorry, I do not have what you need. I have the Tiffany base and traded sets from 1984 to 1991. Then I have the Tiffany like Limited Edition sets for 2000, 2001 and 2002. The 2000 and 2001 sets are sealed. The 2002 set comes in a faux leather box and is not sealed so I can access cards from it

2000



2001




2002

There were two “Limited Edition” factory sets in 2011. One could be found in stores and had the “Limited Edition” script above the name bar, but the top corner had the normal Topps foil. I have no clue what the box looked like. The other was a Topps giveaway. It had the “Limited Edition” script above the name plate and instead of the normal Topps foil in the top corner it had the Diamond Anniversary logo. These came in Red, White, and Blue boxes with a large Diamond Anniversy logo. I don’t think it says Limited Edition on the box. It might though. It’s packed away in my closet and I’m away at the in-laws for the holidays or I’d check for you. Hope that helps some.

thanks steven. that red/white/blue factory set is what i am seeing. i think that is the answer.

the cards with the “limited edition” above the name plate and the regular topps logo i thought were special insert 5pks in certain factory sets (posey and 4 other guys) and not a whole set….but i am way over my skis at this point.

and i like tommy bridges too…fan club from the eastern part of the state!

I have the Limited Edition set at home in the Topps Box that one got from the "dig", IIRC -- there was nothing special on the box to note the cards had a limited edition notation on the front.

Thanks Rich. I think everyone has the same, correct opinion...there just is nothing on the outside of the sealed sets that shows that they are "limited edition" and have that particular stamp. I think I will just bite the bullet and get one and crack it open

mystery solved

i bought one of the red/white/blue diamond anniversary boxes and indeed those have the "limited edition" stamp..you guys were right!
