That Brusstar is a solid second dud card for me. Because 78 Topps was the first year I busted packs, most of those card images are burned into my memory. I could probably block the names out and get a majority of the cards named correctly just from poses.
I'd also add that my intention with this thread, and I may not have explained it well enough, it that not only are these cards commons, but they are TERRIBLE commons for one personal reason or another. It's that card you own or buy only because you absolutely must have to complete a set or something like that, otherwise a card like this would never have a home in your collection.
For me, those large close up portrait cards will often fit that bill more so than any other cards. The kind of photos that made you glad that football and hockey players wore helmets! However, if the Apodaca card looked like the 77 Tanana, then it would be a different story for me.
