The 1988 Topps Baseball design is classic and simple. Card fronts feature white borders encasing a large color photo of the player with the team name running across the top and the player name diagonally across the bottom. Large player photos have a thin colored frame, which gives way to a white border. The player's name is in block letters in a diagonal strip at the bottom-right of the card. The team name stands out at the top of the card, hovering behind the player image. Card backs are orange and have complete player stats. Many cards also have a caption called "This Way to the Clubhouse," which explains how the player came to join the pictured team. Subsets include Record Breakers (1-7), All-Stars (386-407), Turn Back the Clock (661-665), and Team Leaders (scattered throughout the set). The manager cards contain a team checklist on back. A pair of insert sets are available in specific pack types. Glossy All-Stars are inserted one per rack pack. Jumbo cello packs have a similar Glossy Rookie card. Collectors could also mail away for a separate 60-card Glossy set. It was offered in both ten-card lots or as a complete set.
