| The 1976 Topps "Traded" set was the
first extended set, and contained 44 cards. Each card was
numbered according to the player's regular 1976 card with the
addition of "T" next to the number. A Traded Set is
a set of cards, usually factory packaged, that features
players who switched teams during the season, as well as those
who made their debuts. Topps, who started this trend every
year since 1981, is most well known for traded sets. Other
companies also produce traded sets, although they refer to
them by different names such as "Update" (Fleer) and
"Rookie/Traded" (Score) sets.
