2018 Set Project #1- 2018 Topps 1983 Baseball Cards

I thought that trying to put together some 1983 style cards would be a good place to start with my efforts to assemble a complete set from the 2018 Topps cards.  At some point back in December I made a post about some different things I wanted to accomplish this year with my collection.  The biggest change is getting away from collecting base sets.

My interest has slowly drifted away from the base sets and it's time for a new direction.  The 1983 set was actually one of the first that I collected, so I am really excited about this project.

These are great looking cards.  The 2018 versions of the 1983 Topps cards are also very nice looking cards.  Topps did a good job of getting a lot of the little details right with the rehashed cards....

This Matt Carpenter card is not actually mine, so I have all 100 cards left to collect.  For the moment I am going with the regular inserts and not the Silver Pack Chrome versions.  If at some point I finish the insert set version, I might go back and pick up the cards from the Silver Packs.  Not now, I am going to be focused....

There are Cardinals and former Durham Bulls players in the autograph parallels, but some are already former players (Aledmys Diaz) and others are on stickers.  Not sure I am going to go after some of these yet.  The two that are on my list for sure are Jacob Faria and Steven Souza.  Both are on-card and I am fairly confident I will actually have these two cards crossed off my list by the end of the night.
