1990 Topps Stickers

Topps stickers were an interesting thing. I don't know if they ever became popular, maybe they are still around. The idea was that you collect all these stickers and then stick them in the right place in a baseball yearbook you could buy. Then, with the stickers gone, the backing of the card that formerly held the stickers is still a collectible card. Surely whoever came up with this at Topps got a promotion.

Here's an example;
The stickers are Kevin Elster of the New York Mets and Tom Gordon of the Kansas City Royals. The card on the back is Carlton Fisk, Hall of Famer with the Chicago White Sox at the time.
