My 1981 Topps Record Breakers Set Is Complete!!!
I have to admit that of all of the subsets that I have assembled myself in the last year, this one was by far the easiest to complete.
When I decided to go after this one, I found one seller on www.sportlots.com that had all of the pieces I needed to get the job done. So, after quickly throwing them into my cart, I soon had the set complete without breaking a sweat.
And what a set it is!!!
From Ozzie Smith to Pete Rose to Mike Schmidt to Johnny Bench to Steve Carlton. The list goes on and on.
But the set stops here – COMPLETE!!!
How many of those records are still records – I think Bench, Gullickson, Schmidt (Broken by Beltre), Wilson are no longer records
The photo on the Rose card is also used in the Drake’s Big Hitters set that same year. Maybe the Schmidt also, can’t remember for sure.
