1982 Topps wax box

Description

1982 Topps is a 792-card set. Known as the "hockey stick" set, '82 Topps was the largest baseball card set they had ever produced to that point, and the 66 extra cards eliminated the practice of "double printing" of cards.

Cards 1-6 depict Highlights of the strike-shortened 1981 season, cards 161-168 picture League Leaders, and there are subsets of AL (547-557) and NL (337-347) All-Stars (AS). The abbreviation "IA" in the checklist is given for the 40 "In Action" cards introduced in this set.

The team cards are actually Team Leader (TL) cards picturing the batting average and ERA leader for that team with a checklist back. All 26 of these cards were available from Topps on a perforated sheet through an offer on wax pack wrappers.

Notable Rookie Cards include Brett Butler, Chili Davis, Cal Ripken Jr., Lee Smith, and Dave Stewart. Be careful when purchasing blank-back Cal Ripken Jr. Rookie Cards as they are extremely likely to be counterfeit.

Errors & Variations

Errors

383 Pascual Perez (no position listed on front)

Blackless

During the 1982 Topps production, whole sheets of cards were issued without the black ink. This caused the cards to have no facsimile autographs on the card front. At least half the cards in the set have a Blackless variation.

Inserts

Stickers

This 48-sticker set was randomly inserted into packs, and designed to promote the debut of Topps Baseball Stickers. The stickers inserted into packs are actually a slightly different version of the 1982 Topps stickers. They are the same size (1 15/16" by 2 9/16"), but the backs say the Topps sticker album is "Coming Soon." These stickers, as well as the 1982 Topps Stickers set and album, were produced by Panini under a sub-license from Topps.

Team Checklist Uncut Sheet

As part of a mail-away offer, Topps offered all 26 1982 team checklist cards on an uncut sheet. These cards enabled the collector to have an easy reference for which card(s) he/she needed to finish their sets. When cut from the sheet, all cards measure the standard-size.
