2.5x3.5". The Topps 1982 Football set consists of 528 cards. For the first time, the NFL permitted the card manufacturer to reproduce official team logos on their product, eliminating the long-standing need to remove team identities from photos. As a result, each card features a team helmet at the lower left corner with the player's name and position identified within a color banner at the lower right corner. The reverse of each item presents player statistics and highlights. Subsets include record breakers (#s 1-6), playoffs (#s 7-9), league leaders (#s 257-262) and brothers (#s 263-270).
