All Praise 1980 Topps

Love this set, however I always hated how Topps put eyeliner and what not on Winfield's face. Looks like they gave Gaylord and Eck a similar but less noticeable treatment. I'm sure there's others. Why?

I am starting my search for the yellow letter variations now. It seems that there are more than just 3 that are documented.

These and the Pryor no name are all just print defects ( there are a boat load of them in the 1980 set). After a few of the yellows got recognized in SCD ( and then PSA) along with the Pryor, several other yellows ( I think I posted most of them above) and other no names or obscured names have shown up and I think further formal listings or recognition of them is iffy. But is a fun set for recurring print defects.

The Martin proof version of the Yankee team card I posted above is a real tough one to find

You never forget your first - 1980 Topps Baseball! (Football and Hockey - hello Gretzky). Ricky to Phil Simms to the Great One. So many packs, so much fun!

My favorite "modern" set. I was seven (almost eight) when Topps released it. It was the year when I began to really collect baseball cards.
