All About the Base - 1983 Topps Team Leaders / Checklist

Year: 1983
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Flagship
Card Number: 321
Card Type: Base, Subset
Subset: Team Leaders / Team Checklist

We end our time in 1983 with the third card featuring Robin in the 1983 Topps set.  Robin shares the card Pete Vuckovich.  The early 1980's were a great time in team facial hair.  You had Rollie Fingers' handlebar, Gorman Thomas' crumbduster, Vuck's Fu Manchu.  And while Robin was leading the team is just about every stat he wasn't winning the facial hair battle, but he was giving it his best shot.  It's too bad the 1983 set didn't have a World Series sub-set that would have been nice for us Brewers fans, well except for the loss.  Instead we got sub-sets like the Super Veterens, All-Stars, Record Breakers and of course these team leader / team checklist cards.  Still nice to have multiple Robin Yount cards in the set.
