Year: 1980
Manufacturer: Topps
Card Set: Flagship
Card Number: 265
Card Type: Base
Welcome to the 80's! The Topps design team didn't shake much up for the start of the new decade. The 1980's design pretty much was just a continuation of the styles from the late 70's. Like most of the designs not terrible just not memorable. But I will say I can spot a 1980 Topps' card from a mile away. Back is the facsimile auto on the front and I like the banners with a shadow for the team and position.
The card backs are also typical and well done. The card number is a little small, but very readable and high on the back of the card. As a set collector and one that stores most of his sets in card boxes the placement of the card number is key for easy collation. Full career stats and the comics are back. And once again Robin's brother is mentioned. At the end of this series I'm going to go back and see how may times Larry Yount is mentioned on the backs of Robin's cards.
