1983 - Players On New Teams

Explanantion
This is the list of players who switched teams during the offseason between 1982 and 1983 and are shown in the Topps set with their 1982 teams, but have a card in the 1983 Traded set with their new team. There are 66 cards I am putting in the checklist here, which includes Steve Garvey's last card as a Dodger, Tom Seaver's last card as a Red and a couple of Hall-of-Famers in Tony Perez and Joe Morgan playing a short time in uniforms other than the ones they are noted for.



Donruss Scores
In my opinion, one of the worst sets ever made, and maybe one of the reasons for the downfall of the fun of collecting baseball cards is the 1989 Score set. One of the things I really hate about that set besides the sheer boredom of it was the large number of players shown on teams they were traded away from before the end of the 1988 season and never played on in 1989.

In 1983 Donruss pulled this same stunt with three players, John Curtis, John Denny, and Jim Kern. All were shown with teams they didn't finish the 1982 season with. They are shown with the team they finished with, at least in bad air-brushing form, in the Topps set. I am putting all of the players in this checklist, but they do make appearances in at least one of the 1982 sets in the uniform of the team shown in the 1983 Donruss set.
