Winning the Numbers Game: Kenneth M. Liss on the History of Stats on Topps Baseball Cards

I’ve said it before—if it involves 1952 Topps, I’m probably going to share it. This time, it’s a fantastic article from Topps Magazine Issue #15 (Summer 1993) titled Winning the Numbers Game by Kenneth M. Liss. The story explores how Topps pioneered the use of full player statistics on card backs, beginning in 1952, and how that decision helped shape collecting as we know it. If you love the backs and stats as much as the fronts, this one’s for you.
