1953 Topps Set (Baseball)

Set Notes
<

Excerpt

The cards in this 274-card set measure 2 5/8" by 3 3/4". Card number 69, Dick Brodowski, features the first known drawing of a player during a night game. Although the last card is numbered 280, there are only 274 cards in the set since numbers 253, 261, 267. 268, 271 and 275 were never issued. The 1953 Topps series contains line drawings of players in full color. The name and team panel at the card base are easily damaged, making it very difficult to complete a mint set.
