Description
1997 Topps Mint was a test issue for a set that was never produced. The cards were printed on steel slabs and have the same design of 1998 Topps Stars & Steel. One can assume that Mint served as a "test" for Stars & Steel. These cards were never formally issued by Topps in the way similar promos of the era were, and it is unclear how these cards emerged into the secondary market -- probably through the "backdoor."
