Item Description
There are 264 standard-sized cards in the 1979-80 Topps hockey issue, only four of which (81, 82, 263 & 261) differ from their O-Pee-Chee counterparts. The player's name, team position and team logo are featured on a blue-bordered front which chips easily, making high grade cards difficult to obtain. The card backs feature statistics, a biography and are illustrated with a cartoon that pertains to the player. Packs contained ten cards and a stick of bubble gum.
