Description

1963 Topps is a 576-card set released in seven series throughout the baseball season. Topps greatly overproduced cards from the first three series (cards #1-#283), while cards in Series Four and Five (#284-#446) were produced in smaller quantities than previous "middle series" sets. The set is notable for the bright "dual-photo" design and the Pete Rose rookie card.
