1975 Topps Set (Baseball)

Set Notes

<

Excerpt

The 1975 Topps set consists of 660 standard sized cards. The design was radically different in appearance from sets of the preceding years. The most prominent change was the use of a two-color frame surrounding the picture area rather than a single, subdued color. A facsimile autograph appears on the picture, and the backs are printed in red and green on grey. Cards were released in ten-card wax packs, 18-card cello packs as well as in 42-card rack packs. The cello packs were issued 24 to a box. Cards 189-212 depict the MVP's of both leagues from 1951 through 1974.

The 1993 Topps baseball set consists of two series, respectively, of 396 and 429 standard-size cards. A Topps Gold card was inserted in every 15-card pack. In addition, hobby and retail factory sets were produced. The fronts feature color action player photos with white borders. The player's name appears in a stripe at the bottom of the picture, and this stripe and two short diagonal stripes at the bottom corners of the picture are team color-coded.

This set contains 165 standard-size cards and was sold in 11-card packs for $1.29. The 1995 Topps Traded set features rookies, draft picks and players who had been traded. The fronts contain a photo with a white border. The backs have a player picture in a scoreboard and his statistics and information. Subsets featured are At The Break ((1T-10T) and All-Stars (156T-164T). Rookie Cards in this set include Michael Barrett, Carlos Beltran, Ben Davis, Hideo Nomo and Richie Sexson.

This set consists of 792 standard-size cards. Cards were primarily issued in 17-card wax packs, 50-card rack packs and factory sets.

Subsets include Record Breakers (1-7), Turn Back The Clock (311-315), All-Star selections (595-616), and Team Leaders (scattered throughout the set). The manager cards contain a team checklist on back.

The 1991 Topps Traded set contains 132 standard-size cards. The cards were issued primarily in factory set form through hobby dealers but was also made available on a limited basis in wax packs (grey backs) and collated factory sets (white backs) are from different card stock. Both versions are valued equally. The card design is identical to the regular issue 1991 Topps cards except for the white stock (for factory card sets) and T-suffix numbering. The set is numbered in alphabetical order. The set includes a Team USA subset, featuring 25 of America's top collegiate players.

This 132-card standard-size Traded set, numbered 1T - 132T, was distributed exclusively in hobby set form in a red and white box through hobby dealers. The set numbering is in alphabetical order by player's name. The cards are identical to regular-issue 1986 Topps cards except for whiter stock and 'T'-suffixed numbering. Key extended Rookie Cards (XRC) in this set are Barry Bonds, Will Clark, Andres Galarraga, Bobby Bonilla, Jose Canseco, Bo Jackson, Wally Joyner, John Kruk and Kevin Mitchell.
