Baseball Talk is a 164-"card" set produced by toy maker LJN under license from Topps.

	The remaining 160 cards were sold in four-card blister packs. The first eight cards make up a "Baseball Greatest Games" subset, while cards #9-#41 are the "Super Stars" and feature reprints of classic Topps cards of retired players. Mel Allen provided narration on the Greatest Games and Super Stars. The remainder of the set has current players with reprints of their [[1989 Topps]] base card.
