I really like the 74 set. I think it gets a bad rap for being the first set Topps distributed nationally in one series, but it really is a nice set.
Agree that the '74s are underrated, for the reasons you went on to state. However, I believe it was due in large part to a lack of rookie wow power, and FWIW, this was not the first set to be distributed nationally in one series, although it appears to be the first to have been distributed in only that manner.
