Matt Nokes

The 1990 Topps Traded Matt Nokes #81T represents a key card from one of baseball's most active trading periods. Issued mid-season, Topps Traded sets captured player movements and roster updates that standard releases missed, making them essential for comprehensive collections. This Near Mint example of the Nokes card shows strong centering and color retention typical of well-preserved vintage cards from this era. Matt Nokes was in his prime with the Yankees during 1990, and his Traded card documents an important chapter in his catching career. The 81T designation identifies this as part of Topps' supplemental release, which has become increasingly sought after by collectors building complete sets or focusing on specific teams and players from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Condition matters significantly for cards of this age—Near Mint specimens command attention from serious collectors who understand that vintage baseball cards in strong condition serve both as portfolio pieces and nostalgic connections to the sport's history. Whether you're completing a Yankees collection, pursuing a comprehensive Topps Traded set, or investing in vintage baseball cards with established collector demand, this card offers authentic vintage appeal with documented condition.
