Iam just starting to collect (I'm 12) and I had a couple of questions.
What does traded mean?

EX: Topps Traded Barry Bonds

And was Bowman Tiffany a series?

Topps Traded was an extra set Topps produced after the full set came out, to acknowledge players who were not on the roster of the teams at the time of publication, either through trades, free agency or they simply didn't have enough experience to appear on a card at the time of release, like Bonds in 1986. They're called Extra Rookie Cards in the case of Bonds, because they were produced on top of the regularly issues set.

If Bowman Tiffany is anything like the Tiffany cards from the mid 80's, it's a premium edition of the regular series.

Ok, thanks and that makes since because the Bowman Tiffany cards were worth more.
