All About the Base - 1993 Topps

Year: 1993
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Flagship
Card Number: 1
Card Type: Base

This year Robin was given honor of being card #1.  I for the life of me can't remember if there was a reason for it or not.  Regardless this would be Robin's final year in the MLB.  We'll get one more base card next year.  Topps issued the set in two series, something they hadn't done in 20 years.  And this set was big, the biggest Topps had ever issued at 825 total cards.  And the gold foil parallel cards first introduced last year were so popular Topps added one to every pack.   Topps also changed up the backs going from the classic horizontal layout to the vertical, which made for reading all those stats just a little bit harder.  They also added a headshot to the back of the card, something that would get carried over to the 1994 set.
