As one of the sets I remember best for it's packaging (I grew up in Michigan, so I busted piles of those blue mylar sealed packs.), I think the card most stuck in my head was Ozzie Smith.
The rookies were fine, but I don't remember being excited for them when the set was new. However, this Ozzie shot was just as cool then as it is now.

Agreed, one of the greatest sets ever. The Darryl Strawberry traded set rookie card is one of my favorites.
The Tommy John as a member of the Yankees proof card is a good one too! Last edited by Tyranusberg; 10-11-2017 at 07:20 AM.

My personal favorite cards were the Super Veteran cards. I rememeber busting pack after pack until I found the Reggie & Nettles cards.

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.

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.

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.
