Trivia |
- Blank-backed Cal Ripken Jr. rookie cards found for sale are extremely likely to be counterfeit.
- Wax: 36 packs per box, 15 cards plus one stick of gum per pack (MSRP: $0.30). 20 boxes per case
Cello: 24 packs per box, 28 cards plus one stick of gum per pack (MSRP: $0.49).

Factory Sets: complete set of 792 cards. - The "blackless" cards were the result of cards being printed without the blank ink. As a result, regular cards are lacking the border around the photo and the facsimile autographs and the All Star cards are also missing the players' names at the bottom of the card.
- 1st 792-card base set, which would become a standard for over a decade (1982-1992 & 1994).
- "Topps All-Star Rookie" trophies were not included on the cards of the 1981 winners: Tony Pena (C), Tim Wallach (1B), Juan Bonilla (2B), Hubie Brooks (3B), Cal Ripken, Jr. (SS), Mookie Wilson (OF), Rufino Linares (OF), Tim Raines (OF), Bruce Berenyi (RHP), Fernando Valenzuela (LHP).

best graphic design of the decade. fits the eighties perfectly. | ||
Remember getting a pack at 7/11. Honestly, I was more enthralled by the sticker packs & album. Great year to start as an Orioles fan! | ||
When I first got into collecting cards, I got a pack and, being a Twins fan, I got a #42 Rick Sofield and despite him only playing 3 years I was so excited about it because I thought it was like the oldest and greatest card in my collection even though I had no idea they made older cards and it was one of my first Twin cards. But no if you think about it, a card from '82 is 39 years old. *sighs* | ||
