1970s HOF/stars/notables RC list
I've been putting together a run of HOF/stars/notables/etc RC's from 60s-00s and I've reached an assumed end to my 1970s era run.
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of a RC I may have overlooked from the era. My criteria is rather broad. Not everyone is a superstar, but they did have notable or impressive careers. Some faded out early (JR Richard). Some never got many accolades, but had great careers (Jose Cruz). Some guys simply have longevity on their side (Charlie Hough). 1970 Topps Thurman Munson 1970 Topps Vida Blue/Gene Tenace 1970 Topps Bill Buckner 1970 Topps Darrell Evans 1971 Topps Dusty Baker/Don Baylor 1971 Topps George Foster 1971 Topps Bert Blyleven 1971 Topps Ted Simmons 1971 Topps Steve Garvey 1971 Topps Bobby Grich 1971 Topps Dave Concepcion 1971 Topps Cesar Cedeno 1971 Topps Ken Singleton 1972 Topps Carlton Fisk/Cecil Cooper 1972 Topps Ron Cey/Ben Oglivie 1972 Topps JR Richard 1972 Topps Charlie Hough 1972 Topps Darrell Porter 1972 Topps Jose Cruz 1972 Topps Dave Kingman 1972 Topps Toby Harrah 1973 Topps Mike Schmidt 1973 Topps Dwight Evans 1973 Topps Bob Boone 1973 Topps Davey Lopes 1973 Topps Goose Gossage 1973 Topps Rick Reuschel 1973 Topps Buddy Bell 1974 Topps Brian Downing 1974 Topps Bill Madlock 1974 Topps Frank Tanana 1974 Topps Ken Griffey Sr 1974 Topps Frank White 1974 Topps Dave Winfield 1974 Topps Dave Parker 1974 Topps Steve Rogers 1975 Topps Fred Lynn 1975 Topps Keith Hernandez 1975 Topps Jim Rice 1975 Topps Gary Carter 1975 Topps Robin Yount 1975 Topps George Brett 1976 Topps Ron Guidry 1976 Topps Willie Randolph 1976 Topps Chet Lemon 1976 Topps Dennis Eckersley 1977 Topps Andre Dawson 1977 Topps Dennis Martinez 1977 Topps Jack Clark 1977 Topps Dale Murphy 1977 Topps Bruce Sutter 1978 Topps Lance Parrish 1978 Topps Lou Whitaker 1978 Topps Jack Morris 1978 Topps Paul Molitor/Alan Trammell 1978 Topps Eddie Murray 1978 Topps Mario Soto 1979 Topps Bruce Bochy 1979 Topps Pedro Guerrero 1979 Topps Ozzie Smith 1979 Topps Willie Wilson 1979 Topps Bob Welch |
I was thinking 1977 Mark Fidrych. I know not in HOF and not a long career, but he was notable.
Mike |
1971 Greg Luzinski had a fairly long and notable career
|
Fidrych and Luzinski are both good additions to the list. I’d humbly suggest 1972 Mickey Rivers also.
Great idea BTW! |
1974 David Clyde for the novelty of it.
|
1970 Topps Ralph Garr (won a batting title and top 10, 5 times)
1976 Topps Lyman Bostock |
Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Got some new names to check on and consider.

Ron “the con” LeFlore. Pretty good hitter and base stealer. They made a movie about his back story. 1975 Rookie card.

Nice one. Didn't think of him, but it certainly fits. I like this thread. Brings me back to looking at the backs of baseball cards when I was a kid in the 70's and 80's and seeing impressive stats for players I had never even heard of at that point. :D |
