Promo

Don Mattingly World of Baseball

A promo card of Don Mattingly for a proposed "Topps World of Baseball" set was produced. This card is identical to Mattingly's 1988 Topps base card EXCEPT, it is NOT licensed by Major League Baseball and as such, the team name on the front is listed as "NEW YORK-A.L." In addition the words "SPECIAL WORLD OF BASEBALL EDITION" is on the reverse side.

It is believed that this card was intended to promote a proposed baseball card set for the U.K. market. Topps would make a baseball card set for the U.K., but it looked nothing like this card.

Parallels

In 1988, Topps allegedly produced 25,000 Tiffany sets which are identical to the regular issue set, except for the higher quality white cardboard stock and the addition of a protective UV coating giving the cards a high gloss. According to the site Tiffanycards, https://www.tiffanycards.com/topps-tiffany/1988-topps-tiffany sets with serial numbers as high as 29,000 have surfaced.
