1988 - and I have that unopened set. I believe you can now find a 'collectors' set of that year with a "Vintage" label on the wrapping. I'm not sure if that's original or not. I'm still trying to determine that myself as I'm curious about the value of the cards.

Starting as the Topps gum company in 1938, the Brooklyn, NY based, Topps Gum was eventually replaced by Bazooka Bubble Gum in 1947 and is now one of America's most recognized products. Topps added trading cards in 1950 to try and enhance gum sales. That year, Hopalong Cassidy and Frank Buck "Bring 'em Back Alive" cards were issued.
