1988 Topps Gallery of Champions is a twelve‑card, metal, miniature (1 1/4" X 1 3/4") replica set produced by Topps. Each card reproduces the design of the player’s 1988 Topps base card in a high‑relief metal format. As with other years in the series, the set was issued primarily in aluminum, with scarcer bronze and silver versions also produced. This would be the fifth year Topps produced the Gallery of Champions
