A Tiffany baseball card is a card from a Tiffany set - A high end set of cards, issued by Topps. These sets were identical to the regular issue set, except for the higher quality white cardboard stock and the addition of a protective UV coating. The color of the back of the Tiffany card would be the same color as the back of the card from the regular issued set that year.
The only difference is that the "Tiffany" has a very glossy finish to the front, and is a much more limited production run. Tiffany sets were only issued in factory set form, and it is believed that approx. 30,000 sets were produced of the 1987 Tiffany, as opposed to the perhaps millions of regular issue 1987 Topps.
