The 1986 Topps Traded Baseball set - a faded crown jewel?
1981 Topps Set (Baseball)
Set Notes
Excerpt
The cards in this 726-card set measure the standard size. This set was primarily issued in 15-card wax packs and 50-card rack packs. League Leaders (1-8), Record Breakers (201-208), and Post-season cards (401-404) are the topical subsets. The team cards are all grouped together (661-686) and feature team checklist backs and a very small photo of the team's manager in the upper right corner of the obverse. The obverses carry the player's position and team in a baseball cap design, and the company name is printed in a small baseball. The backs are red and gray.
