| The 1983 Topps set totals 792 cards. Missing among the regular
2-1/2" X 3-1/2" cards are some form of future star cards,
as Topps was saving them for the now-established late season "Traded"
set. The 1983 cards carry a large color photo as well as a smaller
color photo on the front, quite similar in design to the 1963 set.
Team colors frame the card, which, at the bottom, have the player's
name, position, and team. At the upper right-hand corner is a Topps
Logo. The backs are horiontal and include statistics, personal information
and 1982 highlights. Specilty cards include record-breaking performances,
league leaders, All-Stars, numbered check-lists "Team Leaders"
and "Super Veteran" cards which are horizontal with a
current and first-season picture of the honored player. This example
of Tony LaRussa has been graded GEM MT by PSA.
