The 1989 Topps base set is common. Its best rookie is Randy Johnson (#647), pictured as a Montréal Expo. Griffey’s 1989 Topps card is in the separate Traded set (#41T), not the base set.

Topps Tiffany was a limited, glossy version of the Topps set sold only as complete factory sets through hobby dealers in the late 1980s. Same cards, same numbers, a white glossy back and a far smaller print run, which is why a Tiffany sells for many times the regular card in the same grade.
