1983 Topps

Description

1983 Topps is a 792-card set measuring 2.5 × 3.5 inches. Known as the "circular portrait" set, 1983 Topps was issued in wax, cello, and rack packs. It was also issued as a complete factory set in the J.C. Penney catalog. The design is a mix of action shots and portraits coupled with another small circular portrait of the subject of the card located in either the lower left or right corner of the card. To the left (or right, depending on card design) of the portrait is the player's name, position, and team affiliation.

The reverse of the card contains the players standard biography (Name, height, weight, throws, bats, how/when drafted, how acquired, birthdate, birthplace, and home city). It also contained the players career statistics up until 1982. If room allowed, the bottom of the card contained either a small comment regarding the players career, previous seasons major accomplishments. Two silhouettes of players in action were also included, one in the upper left corner which was part of the Topps logo, and a second that may have appeared, if room allowed, in the lower right corner, typically of a pitcher about to throw a pitch. And of course, the card's number in the collated set appears in the uppermost left corner.

Cards 1-6 depict "Record Breakers", players that broke some sort of league or career record over the course of the 1982 season, including Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson breaking the single season stolen base record. The team cards are actually Team Leader (TL) cards picturing the batting average and ERA leader for that team with a checklist back. Super Veteran (SV) cards also appear inserted in the set, coupled with the baseset card of the player depicted. The SV cards contained two pictures, one of the player currently and one of the player from an earlier part of his career. Cards number 386-407 are of the previous seasons starting All-Star game representatives, beginning with the American League and then the National League. Cards number 701-708 depict the league leaders in various categories.

As in previous year's editions, stars of the era traditionally were given slots within the set every 10 cards (#10, #20, #30, etc), with major stars being awarded the hundreds (#100 in set). Every wax, cello, and rack pack also contained a game card from Topps.

Notable Rookie Cards include Tony Gwynn, Wade Boggs, Ryne Sandberg, Willie McGee, and Frank Viola.
