I'm happy to see that you finally have a print error/variation in one of your sets . The 1977 Topps Dave Heaverlo can be found with a square green area in his glove at the bottom of the card that I'm guessing was caused by a piece of clear tape on the printing sheet. The print error is less common than the corrected card but is by no means rare.

That's pretty cool! I've never been big into "print variations", but it's always interesting to hear about them. Of course, I could have said that about "set collecting" a few short months ago, so who knows what my collecting future holds!

Sorry to hear mine isn't super rare and isn't going to make me rich (otherwise we could go straight from '77 Topps to '52 Topps).

Nice progress! Lots of nice clean cards!

Thank you! The card stock on the 77's is pretty thin...these are tougher than I expected.

Much tougher

I was one year late in being able to collect these as they were issued. I have always loved this set design, the action shots, the All Star banners, the turn back the clocks, etc. This set also provides the best looking Steve Garvey card ever, in my opinion.

Staub, Fisk, Garvey, Templeton, Tanana, Rose, Fidrych, R. Smith, M. Marshall and C. Morton are a handful that stick in my mind as cardboard greatness.

Yeah, despite the production issues with card stock, centering, and print/registration...some of the cards are just beautiful.

I also like the design...it feels to me what someone who knows next to nothing about baseball cards would describe a baseball card as looking like.
