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.
George Howard Brett is an American former professional baseball player who played all of his 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a third baseman for the Kansas City Royals. Brett's 3,154 career hits are second-most by any third baseman in major league history (after only Adrian Beltre's 3,166) and rank 18th all-time. He is one of five players in MLB history to accumulate 3,000 hits, 300 home runs, and a career .300 batting average (the others being Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Miguel Cabrera, and Stan Musial). He is the only player to win a batting title in three different decades. George Brett was elected to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1999.
