In the early 90′s, hologram technology was all the rage.  There were hologram arcade games (remember arcades in the mall?), action figures with holograms on them, hologram stickers, and then Upper Deck baseball cards.  These were cool cards for kids in the 90′s.  Here’s what I still have:

I was never into the Topps Traded sets when I was collecting as a kid, probably because most of the time they were only available as complete sets.  In 1990, I did get my hands on a few packs of 1990 Topps Traded.  It’s a completely worthless set that I wouldn’t pay more than the price of a Starbucks coffee today.  The only cards of note in the set are David Justice and John Olerud rookie cards, which were cool in 1990, but with our hindsight we know that those players are not exactly Hall of Fame material.  Beckett lists the complete set as going for anywhere between $1.25 and $3.00.
