In '78 it was Rice and Reggie...same deal.
I must've pulled 20 Paul Blairs for every Reggie that summer...
I also remember Morgan to be tough in 1977 - and I am a Red's fan, so that was hard on an 11 year old. Carew, however, seemed to be in every other pack.

And in football that fall, I could never pull the elusive 1977 Walter Payton. I think Topps only made 4-5 of them that year, in total.
