78 Topps
The 78 set is not my favorite either, but I do have a few cards that are classics for me.
I began collecting in late 78, so although I did not open packs that year, I acquired many of these as gifts, etc.
1. Growing up in New England, Thurman was long my favorite player and this card is one of my favorite Thurman cards(71 being the favorite) because of the pose.
2. To have this 78 Reggie card was the goal of every boy in my school (even the Red Sox fans) in the late 70s...I can still remember how I felt the first time I saw a copy of the card and eventually traded the equivalent of an arm and leg for one.
3. My cousin gave me my first copy of a Tom Johnson card...Tom was my Uncle's roommate one season in the minor leagues.
4. The Wynegar card has a great "action" image.....
5. As I enjoy variations, the 78 (not 79) Bump Wills with the black circle is my favorite 78 Topps card
