1982 Topps Appreciation:  Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt appeared on five different cards within the 1982 Topps set and I've previously featured his base card and his In Action card.  Here are his other three appearances - two League Leader cards and his All-Star card.  Schmidt's photo for all three cards is a topic I covered in a previous post.

For the 2017 Chachi set, I've decided to forego the Team Leader cards again this year as the bar is fairly low for each offensive and pitching category.  However, I'll create a set topping Team Leader card featuring the Phillies leaders in both average and ERA, similar to the card appearing in the original 1982 Topps set.
