1982 TCMA Greatest Hitters/Pitchers/Sluggers
In 1982 TCMA issued (3) great 45-card aptly named sets.
* Baseball's Greatest HITTERS
* Baseball's Greatest PITCHERS
* Baseball's Greatest SLUGGERS
Coming in at only 45-cards each, TCMA made up for the small sets
by packing them nearly all full with Hall-of-Famers.
Most cards were issued on white card stock but some can be
found on gray
and some also with perforatted edges from 9-card sheets.
Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Roberto Clemente,
Mickey Mantle,
Joe DiMaggio, Sandy Koufax, Yogi Berra ...
Can't get better than that !

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
