- Glossy Send-ins
This set totals 60 cards and was available by mailing in the special offer cards found in 1988 Topps wax packs. The fronts have a glossy player photo while the backs say All-Star Set Collector's Edition and include the players name, team, and position. Size: 2.5 × 3.5 in. - Wax Box Cards
The "Box Bottom" cards were featured 4 to a box on the bottom of the wax pack boxes of 1988 Topps of which there were 4 different boxes for a total of 16 cards. They resemble the base cards except for having a career highlight on the back instead of full statistics and a light blue border instead of white. The set is lettered A-P rather than numbered. Size: 2.5 × 3.5 in. when individually cut out. - Glossy Rookies
This set totals 22 cards and was available as an insert in 1988 Topps jumbo packs. The back says Rookies Commemorative Set and includes the player's name, position and team. The cards slightly resemble the Glossy All-Star set. Size: 2.5 × 3.5 in. - 40 cent wax packs with 15 cards.
- Card #455 was originally supposed to be Steve Carlton but he was replaced by Shawn Hillegas before production. Some versions of checklist #528 list Carlton as #455 before it was corrected.
