The 1973 Topps Baseball Card Set started the tradition of the 660 card sets of the 1970’s. 1973 is also considered the last true “vintage” set as it was also the last year that Topps marketed the cards in consecutive series. The 1973 Topps Baseball Card High Number Series begins at card # 529.

The key 1973 Topps Rookie Cards in this set are all in the Rookie Prospect Series: Bob Boone #613, Dwight Evans #614 and Mike Schmidt #615. Other interesting 1973 Topps Baseball Cards are #1- which featured Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron & Willie Mays, #50 Roberto Clemente’s last card, #100 Hank Aaron, #220 Nolan Ryan & #304 Willie May’s as a Met – which was his last card issued. Willie looks about 74 years old in the picture and that year he certainly played like it.
