1989 Topps Traded set

[mm1sub]

I picked up a 1989 Topps Traded set today but the weird thing is that it is not in the regular red box like I am used to seeing. It is in a long box with the Tom Gordon card on one side and the Griffey card on the other. It also says that it was made in Ireland. Anybody have any info on this set?

Thanks,

Bryon

Would you trade your 2001 Upper Deck Legends set for it? If so go ahead and post it up.

I'm pretty sure this is the version (retail) that you guys are talking about. I've seen the 1992 and 1993 Topps Traded sets packaged similarly to this but don't recall ever seeing this version of the 1989 Topps Traded.

There are tons of this set in the standard red box version but only a few with this packaging.
