1983 Topps is a 792-card set measuring 2.5 × 3.5 inches. Known as the "circular portrait" set, 1983 Topps was issued in wax, cello, and rack packs. It was also issued as a complete factory set in the J.C. Penney catalog. The design is a mix of action shots and portraits coupled with another small circular portrait of the subject of the card located in either the lower left or right corner of the card. To the left (or right, depending on card design) of the portrait is the player's name, position, and team affiliation.
