1973 Topps Set (Baseball)

Set Notes
<

Excerpt

The cards in this 660-card set measure 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". The 1973 Topps set marked the last year in which Topps marketed baseball cards in consecutive series. The last series (529-660), is more difficult to obtain. In some parts of the country, however, all five series were distributed together. Beginning in 1974, all Topps cards were printed at the same time, thus eliminating the 'high number' factor. The set features team leader cards with small individual pictures of the coaching staff members and a larger picture of the manager.
