1982 Topps Appreciation:  Here's another set of before and after cards from the base 1982 Topps set and the 1982 Topps Traded set featuring the principal players involved in the deal between the Phillies and Cubs on January 27, 1982.  The Phillies added a prospect to the deal, but I don't think he ever amounted to much.
