I was always a fan of the '71s, although it started the trend toward action shots with some aerial photos of a couple of players, most notably the Yankees and A's. That Munson card is iconic and should be on everyone's list IMO. The Reggie card is also a beauty. My five for this set would be:
Dave Concepcion--nice shot of this rookie Red who was part of the machine:
Cookie Rojas-- one of the few action shots from the set that I enjoy:
Larry Bowa--nice shot of another young SS with the added touch of the trophy (note him wearing a batting glove inside the fielder's mitt):
Dave McNally-- owned my beloved Twins. I liked this one for having virtually no apparent background--looked cool to me.
Rusty Staub--Le Grand Orange wearing those still relatively new Expos duds:
