- Feed Preview 1993 Topps
#506 Sparky Anderson and Art Howe
ABOUT THE FRONT: Funny, that doesn't look like Philip Seymour Hoffman on the right. ABOUT THE BACK: Sparky Anderson is listed as a former second baseman, but what Topps doesn't tell you is ...

#505 Mike Hargrove and Rene Lachemann
ABOUT THE FRONT: I like Rene Lachemann's 1984 Topps Traded card better. Check out that hair! ABOUT THE BACK: Ah yes, Joe Robbie Stadium, former home of the Marlins and still the home of the...

#504 Gene Lamont and Don Baylor
ABOUT THE FRONT: Don Baylor looks like he could have still been some American League team's DH at age 44...and to be fair, he'd just finished his playing career five years earlier with the A's....

#503 Buck Rodgers and Tony Perez
ABOUT THE FRONT: Buck Rodgers is tired of putting up with your crap. ABOUT THE BACK: The Reds had just hired Tony Perez as a rookie manager to replace Lou Piniella, who departed to manage th...

#502 Butch Hobson and Jim Lefebvre
ABOUT THE FRONT: Jim Lefebvre looks like he's been practicing his manager's scowl in the mirror. ABOUT THE BACK: The Cubs hired Lefebvre prior to the 1992 season. No manager had lasted for a...

#501 Johnny Oates and Bobby Cox
ABOUT THE FRONT: Topps did something new in 1993, placing one American League manager and one National League manager on a shared card and including them as a 14-card subset in Series Two. As y...

#500 Jose Canseco
ABOUT THE FRONT: It must have been really strange to see Jose Canseco in a Rangers uniform when this card was released. He'd been traded the previous August after an eight-year stay in Oakland ...
#499 Chuck Crim
ABOUT THE FRONT: Chuck Crim is one of 31 Angels players to wear #32 to date. Most notable among them is Hall of Fame outfielder Dave Winfield, who directly preceded Crim. ABOUT THE BACK: To ...
#498 Bud Black
ABOUT THE FRONT: That's one unflattering photo of Bud Black. In general, I think he's better-looking now than he was in his playing days. Some guys just age gracefully. ABOUT THE BACK: Daugh...
#497 Matt Petersen and Willie Brown
ABOUT THE FRONT: Many of these Marlins and Rockies "future stars" cards feature photos that wouldn't be out of place on Little League trading cards. This one is a prime example. Matt Petersen a...

#496 Reggie Jefferson
ABOUT THE FRONT: Reggie Jefferson is intently focusing on his pine-tar duties. ABOUT THE BACK: If you're like me, you probably don't think of Reggie as a triples hitter. He led the rookie-le...

#495 Ken Hill
ABOUT THE FRONT: Somebody tell Ken Hill that his black glove clashes with all of that royal blue. ABOUT THE BACK: That ground ball single in the June 8, 1992 game stings even more because ...
#494 Kevin Young, Adell Davenport, Eduardo Perez, and Lou Lucca
It's about time to reboot this blog, now that time has marched on and we're a full quarter-century past the release of 1993 Topps. I'll try not to disappear for another two years and change this ...

#493 Jeff Nelson
ABOUT THE FRONT: Jeff Nelson switched from #40 to #43 in 1993, and wore the latter number for the duration of his 15-year career. ABOUT THE BACK: 66 games pitched might seem like a lot for ...
#492 Tom Lampkin
ABOUT THE FRONT: Using the scouting tools scale of 20-80, Tom Lampkin's curly mullet is a solid 95. ABOUT THE BACK: The scout who signed Lampkin for the Indians was Dave Roberts, another Ore...
#491 Shawn Hare
ABOUT THE FRONT: I don't trust that orange Gatorade cooler lurking in the background. He's up to something... ABOUT THE BACK: Pitchers Kevin Tapani and Curt Young are probably the most notab...
#490 Omar Olivares
ABOUT THE FRONT: The red cleats are a sharp look. ABOUT THE BACK: Topps diplomatically chooses not to mention Ed Olivares' career batting line of .143/.139/.143 in 36 plate appearances. He d...

#489 Scott Fredrickson
ABOUT THE FRONT: Isn't that the guy who plays Cam on Modern Family ? ABOUT THE BACK: Kevin Towers should ring a bell. He climbed the ranks to serve as the Padres' GM (1995-2009) before holdi...

#488 Manuel Lee
ABOUT THE FRONT: Pop quiz - Is Manuel Lee a) Whistling to get a teammate's attention, b) Inhaling after taking a long drag on a Marlboro, or c) Realizing that a prankster replaced his ChapStick...
#487 Jessie Hollins
ABOUT THE FRONT: That's a lot of blue. Who knew that a Cubs uniform could serve as camouflage? ABOUT THE BACK: Interestingly, Jessie Hollins wasn't the only 40th-round pick from the 1988 dra...

#486 Eric Wedge
ABOUT THE FRONT: There's a fine line between "posed baseball card photo" and "online dating profile photo", and Eric Wedge is straddling that line. ABOUT THE BACK: Aaaand now Eric has vaulte...
#485 Glenn Davis
ABOUT THE FRONT: Is it just me, or does it seem like Glenn Davis' pants are hiked up way too high? ABOUT THE BACK: Topps done goofed again! Davis won the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award in 1990, n...
#484 John Wehner
ABOUT THE FRONT: John Wehner massages his trick knee while attempting to field a chopper. ABOUT THE BACK: Hey, it's a hometown boy! It's always fun to see a local guy play for his team. TRI...
#483 Brian Griffiths
ABOUT THE FRONT: I always preferred this Marlins cap, with the teal crown and black contrast bill, to their all-teal and all-black looks. ABOUT THE BACK: The Marlins acquired Griffiths and ...

#482 Darren Reed
ABOUT THE FRONT: Here's an oddity. This is Darren Reed's only Topps card in a base set, but he appeared in their 1990 ML Debut set (released in 1991) in a Mets uniform, and appeared in the 1992...
