Topps Baseball Update Series has become a cornerstone for collectors, but it wasn’t always known by that name. Starting as Topps Traded in 1981, this set highlighted mid-season trades and debuts before transforming into the Update Series in 2005. Though the last Traded set dropped in 2007, Update Series has continued the legacy. In this list, we’ll walk you through the all-time best Topps Baseball Update Series/Traded cards, from the most iconic rookies to those can’t-miss collectibles.
