Frequently asked questions
What is the 1972 Topps #378 card?
It is card #378 of the 787-card 1972 Topps Baseball set, Checklist 4th Series. This is one of the six checklist cards (#4, #103, #251, #378, #478 and #604), one for each series: #4 lists the first series, and #103, #251, #378, #478 and #604 each list the next series and were printed in the one before it.

Does #378 come in two versions?
One catalog lists two printings of #378 - with an asterisk or a star before the copyright - but PSA's master set does not include them, so #378 is tracked here as a single card.
