1973 Topps Baseball Cards

Led by the rookie card for Mike Schmidt, 1973 Topps Baseball goes the simple route with design, especially in comparison to the previous year. Slightly less common than other 1970s releases, '73 Topps relies on large player photos.

1973 Topps Baseball consists of 660 cards. This represents a 127-card decrease from the 1972 Topps Baseball release. It also has the distinction of being the smallest Topps baseball card set of the 1970s and the last vintage Topps set to be released in a multiple series format. Also of note is that 1973 Topps marks the last active baseball card appearance for Willie Mays.
