View the rest of this set.

This is a 1973 Topps Boston Red Sox Near Team Set. Dean's Cards has designed our Near Complete Team Sets using the majority of cards for that team - leaving out the expensive super-star rookie cards, high numbers, short-prints, and multi-player rookie cards, reducing the price. the other cards can then be added, from our inventory of over a million cards, as your budget allows. the 1973 Topps cards not in this Near Team Set are the higher-priced multi-team rookie cards. the y were omitted in order to keep the cost down. the 1973 Topps was the first set to feature all of multi-player rookie cards by their positions, rather than their respective teams. Topps also waited until 7th Series to issue this cards, making them expensive, as well as ugly. For these reasons, the 1973 Topps multi-player rookie cards are not considered part of 1973 Topps Team Set. We feel that they do not offer enough value to team sets to offset the added cost. the 1973 multi-team rookie cards can be purchased individually on our site. For the exact cards contained in this set, as well as their front and back scans, please see the description below.

Purchased separately the cards in this set have a break-up value of $26.80.
