<

Excerpt

The cards in this 726-card set measure 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". Topps continued with the same number of cards as in 1978. As in previous years, this set was released in many different formats, among them are 12-card wax packs and 39-card rack packs. Various series spotlight League Leaders (1-8), 'Season and Career Record Holders' (411-418), 'Record Breakers' (201-206), and one 'Prospects' card for each team (701-726). Team cards feature a checklist on back of that team's players in the set and a small picture of the manager on the front of the card.
