Description
The 1990 Topps set consists of 792 standard-sized baseball cards. The cards are printed on gray stock. The card fronts have a non-glossy finish and feature color photographs of players. The card borders are colored with a fading rotating pattern in various colors (orange, blue, red, green, and purple) which don't relate to the player's team colors. The photo itself has a colored frame which, more-or-less, relate to the team colors. The card reverse is non-finished, with a mustard yellow color. As Topps has done for years, the backs contain player personal stats, career stats and a few lines of player trivia.
Tiffany Sets are identical to the regular set, except for white cardboard stock and a glossy finish. Tiffany sets were distributed exclusive to The Hobby and limited to 15,000 factory sets.
Key Rookie Cards include: Frank Thomas, Sammy Sosa, Bernie Williams, Larry Walker and Juan Gonzalez.
"NNOF"
Some cards with blank fronts exist as well as cards with missing black ink on the front. According to researchers <ref>http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=11&threadid=709331</ref> Topps printed this set in six separate sheets and a small percentage of cards from sheet "F" were printed and packaged with missing black ink on the front. The most popular card missing black ink on the front is the Frank Thomas "NNOF" ("No Name on Front") rookie card. Thomas happens to be the most sought after card in set; however according to researchers, printing the card without the name wasn't a deliberate act, or gimmick, by Topps.
George Bush USA Card
A card of then-President George H. W. Bush also exists. Legend has it that Topps printed anywhere from 100 to 150 cards of the President as a gift to the Commander in Chief. During his days at Yale, Bush played first base on the varsity baseball team and was team captain his Senior year. Over time, some these cards have made it into the secondary market and a few were pulled from packs. A photo in Topps Magazine from 1990 depicts President Bush holding a binder of these cards.
In the Summer of 1990, White House Chief of Staff John Sununu, himself an avid card collector, appeared on The Tonight Show and traded a 1990 Topps George Bush card to Johnny Carson for a 1957 Topps Ernie Banks.

Topps Tiffany
The penultimate year for the product, Topps Tiffany was a "high-end" version of Topps' base set. Available exclusively in factory set form and distributed directly to Hobby dealers, Topps Tiffany cards are printed on white cardstock, have a glossy coating and were printed in the same Irish facility where Topps Traded sets were produced. Only 15,000 1990 Topps Tiffany factory sets were printed.
The Frank Thomas "NNOF" card does not exist in the Tiffany set.

Glossy Send-Ins
This 60-card set was available by mailing in the special offer cards found in 1990 Topps wax packs. With enough special offer cards, and a nominal shipping & handling fee, collectors could choose one of six different "series" of Glossies, with two cards per series (cards ending in 9 and 0) featuring a "young star." The design of the set is identical to previous year's Glossies, except for a thin, red, border.
