Description
1979 Topps is a 726-card single-series set. This marked the sixth straight year the Topps set was issued as a single series and the second year the set reached 726 cards. Because Topps printed cards using a 132-card sheet, 66 cards are double-printed.
The set's key rookie card is Ozzie Smith. Subsets include:
- League Leaders (#1-8)
- Record Breakers (#201-206)
- All-Time Season and Career Stat Leaders (#411-418)
- Rookie Prospects (#701-726)
As with most Topps sets of the era, cards are hard to find perfectly centered and command a premium.
