1983 Topps

I bought these packs from e-bay UK. If packs ever come up in the UK, I will bid. The seller had 1987 Topps and 1988 Fleer as well. I won this lot of 3 packs of 1983 Topps. I like the design of the 1980's cards, in particular 1980 to 1984 (although I could take or leave the 1982 'hockey stick' design). I have bought from this seller 'derbymark' before and I can safely say he hasn't searched these packs.

Each pack contains 15 cards and 1 stick of gum. There are 792 cards in the set which includes sub-sets; All-stars, League Leaders, Record Breakers, Super Veteran and Team Leader cards.

#44 Don Robinson Pirates
#64 Bill Stein Rangers
#143 Joe Pettini Giants
#181 Terry Felton Twins

Disappointingly one Red Sox in 45 cards. It also says on the wrapper that there should have been a 'Winning Line-up' game card inside. There wasn't one in any of these packs, they are needed to purchase the 5 card collectors sets and its too late to obtain a free game card as that finished on the 15th December 1983. Oh well.
These cards are in excellent condition, cannot say the same for the sticks of gum!
