The cards in this 792-card set measure the standard size. The 1982 baseball series was the first of the largest sets Topps issued at one printing.
Cards 1-6 depict Highlights of the strike-shortened 1981 season, cards 161-168 picture League Leaders, and there are subsets of AL (547-557) and NL (337-347) All-Stars (AS). The abbreviation "IA" in the checklist is given for the 40 "In Action" cards introduced in this set. The team cards are actually Team Leader (TL) cards picturing the batting average and ERA leader for that team with a checklist back. Notable Rookie Cards include Brett Butler, Chili Davis, Cal Ripken Jr., Lee Smith, and Dave Stewart.

What is a "Reed Buy"?

Reed Kasaoka is the head buyer of the Sports Division at Dave & Adam's.
His primary
responsibility is traveling all over the country, buying private collections out of people's closets, bedrooms, attics, basements, garages, and storage units, as well as complete inventories of show dealers, shop owners, autograph dealers, and distributors.
Reed comes up with some amazing finds - rarely seen unopened boxes, quality graded cards, certified autographed memorabilia, and much more.

We have tagged all of his acquisitions as a "Reed Buy" so you'll know where to look first for all of his deals.
Almost every item is "one-of-a-kind" - so when you see something interesting, don't hesitate, because there are likely many other collectors who are thinking the exact same thing!
