Unfortunately I have see way too many people get scammed by people cutting up that $1 sheet and selling the individual cards as proofs or errors.

Seaver from the traded set. I opened regular packs and was really disappointed that Seaver was still shown as a Red. The traded set has 3 great Mets cards, Seaver, Strawberry rookie and Keith Hernandez first Mets card.

Definitely Boggs although him going over to the "Dark Side" hurt at the time..

Peripheral to the subject but still cool was the 1983 Topps Don Mattingly "what if" card found in copies of Baseball Cards Magazine in 1987. I think it was Bob Lemke who mocked them up (I believe he edited the magazine) and he would of course go on to make some of the coolest custom cards ever created.

This set has a lot of action shots, so they are not as special as if you were seeing them in a 70s set. I like these two
Smith with a Sandberg cameo as a bonus and Belanger appearing as a Dodger at the end of his career. I'm sure I could find another gem or two if I really thought about it.

As a former Pudres fan from back then, gotta be Tony G. But he even complained about how big his butt looked in the pic. Still miss the guy. He was something else.

Belanger was part of the era where not much offense was expected out of short stop
The early 1980's changed that with Yount, Ripken, Trammell, etc. Dickie Thon was on his way to join that group when he got beaned, Today --- most of the playoff teams (if not all) have big production out of SS: Correa, Lindor, Didi G., Seager. etc. It's a different world out there indeed. Ed Brinkman, Belanger etc would maybe be a 24th-25th man in today's baseball

I always wondered how they decided who got the Super Veteran cards in that issue. Most were slam dunks, but others like Sutter, Tekulve and LaRoche were head scratchers. Blyleven probably should have had one, and my man Fisk was frozen out as well.

Such a beautiful set, I've always loved 83 Topps. That was the last season of Johnny Bench, Carl Yastrzemski and Gaylord Perry, so I'm partial to their cards. The Reggie Jackson wearinng the shades is a dang cool card.
Between the 3 big rookies Sandburg, Boggs and Gwynn, I'll take the Sandburg as it's the only one without a gratuitous @$$ shot. Hahahaha Seriously though, the Strawberry from the Traded set was my favorite rookie card that year. |
