Even though I started in 1980, there seemed to be a ton of 1978's available in my neighborhood. I'm fond of this set only because of the childhood memories.


The best pitcher in 1978, Louisiana Lightning in action!



The Cobra was a star in 1978, ugly uniform, but I like the photo of him waiting for is turn in the cage. Parker also won the MVP this year. One of my favorite All Star Logos that Topps used.


Along with Parker, Rice was one of the most feared sluggers during this era. This is his MVP year too.



Jackson in full action, in the classic home uni. Has the All Star logo and I am loving those stir-ups.



This card is cool to me. Rookie trophy, ballcap on under the helmet, wristbands, and no batting gloves.

Honorable Mention:
Gary Carter and Carlton Fisk both have their mouths open with one at bat and the other catching.
Molitor/Trammell rookie card, should be 2 HoFers. My dislike of the combined rookie cards kills it for me.
