Great coverage of this issue. 1977 Topps was the first year that I bought cards in wax packs, so this set holds a special memory for me. I really love the photos, design and All-Star banners. Was especially excited in 1977 to see four Cincinnati Reds (my fav team) noted as All-Stars. The Fidrych card is a classic.
A couple of thoughts - only four of 18 of the 1977 All Stars eventually made it to the HOF. I wonder how that compares to other years where Topps put the All-Star banner on cards. And none of the Topps All Rookie team members eventually made it to Cooperstown.
Thanks for putting this together.
