Description

1988 Topps Big is a 264-card set released in three series of 88 cards. Each card was the same size of pre-1957 Topps cards (2 5/8" X 3 3/4"), slightly longer and wider than the standard-size of 2 1/2" X 3 1/2". In keeping with the oversized theme, the design was meant to evoke the 1956 Topps set.

Due to the unusual size and gimmicky nature of the cards, Topps Big was not well received by collectors.
