What modern cards are due to rise ?!

I would have to believe that if a collector had a set with a stamped number higher than the stated/estimated production that this fact would have been revealed by now, but I have not heard of such a claim.

If more sets were produced than the estimated production amounts, than another theory could be that Topps produced multiple sets with the same serial number....but again I have not seen any collectors or dealers bring this fact forward either.

While it may have seemed like there were an endless number of McGwire RCs out there, there are only 1258 that are on record with PSA which is just over 25% of the alleged production amounts. This pct is probably a realistic number for such a card.

Surprisingly, these Tiffany cards do not have greater demand as their supply is exceedingly low as compared to their regular issue counterparts. Recent auction sales of sealed 85 TT sets were in the $700-900 range.

I have a run of these (84-91 ?) and the related Traded sets. I have never seen the cards themselves since they are still in the factory boxes. I also ended up buying some Tiffany "like"sets ( forget what they were called) from, I think 2000-2002

Fritsch used to offer some of the Tiffany sets in their catalog and web site

There were also Score Glossy sets, which were their equivalent to Topps Tiffany. Think they came in tins instead of cardboard boxes. I had a couple from 1988, but they were a bit of a pain because of the shipping weight.
