Wow...these supercards bring back memories. I sent away for 4 of the sets, and I couldn't have been happier when they showed up, really. I seem to remember that the backs of mine were white with blue text, a variation I guess. I loved these things - I was never so happy to get a Larry Parrish card. Great beard.
This blog is inspired by several influences; first, the other blogs dedicated to a single season of Topps sets and the folks at http://www.deanscards.com/, who provide a great resource of all years of cards (and from whom I stole the awesome header).
Mainly though, this blog is inspired by my Dad who during the summer of 1980, fully introduced me to the great game of baseball through these cards. Every one of these cards is somehow connected to a memory of that time.
Topps should do one of these sets about every few years or so. They're great!
