Item Description
2.5x3.5". The 1975 Topps Baseball set consists of 660 cards.  Their design borrowed various elements from past Topps sets including facsimile autographs on their cardfronts, and bright, full-bleed borders. The set also boasted of  "All 660 Cards in One Series!" - increasing the odds of obtaining a favorite player in the first pack. With its tally reaching 660, the cards were able to be printed in equal quantities, eliminating any anomalies like "Short Prints" or even "High Numbers." Topps also issued an identical 660-card "Mini" series that, as the name implies, were smaller than the standard-sized issue, each measuring 2-1/4" by 3-1/8" and available exclusively in Michigan and on the West Coast. James Edward Rice, nicknamed "Jim Ed", is a former Major League Baseball left fielder and designated hitter. Rice was an eight-time American League (AL) All-Star and was named the AL's MVP in 1978 after becoming the first major league player in 19 years to accumulate 400 total bases. He went on to become the ninth player to lead the major leagues in total bases in consecutive seasons. He joined Ty Cobb as one of two players to lead the AL in total bases three years in a row. He batted .300 seven times, collected 100 RBI's eight times and 200 hits four times, and had 11 seasons with 20 home runs. He also led the league in home runs three times, RBIs and slugging percentage twice each. Jim Rice was elected into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 2009.
