Product Details
The 1951 Topps Baseball set marked the company's baseball card industry debut. The cards featured rounded corners and resembled playing cards. 1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball has 52 cards. The set was designed for use in a baseball card game rather then as a stand alone item or collectible.
In 2001, Topps celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of this set's release with the launch of their popular Topps Heritage product line. Topps Heritage pays homage to vintage Topps products by mimicking their designs and combining them with a checklist of today's players (as well as some of the old greats by way of insert subsets).
