Description

1980 Topps is a 726-card set released in April. This would be the final year Topps had a monopoly on officially licensed Major League Baseball cards until again in 2010.

As it had the last two years, Topps again double-printed 66 cards in the set; they are noted by DP in the checklist below.

The player's name appears over the picture and his position and team are found in "double pennant" design. Every card carries a facsimile autograph.

Team cards feature a team checklist of players in the set on the back and the manager's name on the front.

Cards 1-6 show Highlights (HL) of the 1979 season, cards 201-207 are League Leaders, and cards 661-686 feature American and National League rookie "Future Stars," one card for each team showing three young prospects.

The key Rookie Card in this set is Rickey Henderson.
