Do we really need rookie cards for a set to be nice? Take the rookies out of '75 and you have a real ugly set with bad photography. 1976 and 1977 are beautiful... just don't have the rookie star power. I say that's a good thing. We get to put together two vintage, beautiful sets, in top condition without breaking the bank. Look again. Check out that '77 George Brett card, and that '76 Aaron, and the '77 Reggie, and bask in the ugliness of the '76 Munson, and (perhaps the nicest card of the '70's - if not all-time), the '76 Johnny Bench, or the '77 Morgan, '77 Kingman, '77 Fidrych, which rivals the '76 Bench, '76 Aaron & Seaver Record Breakers, '76 & '77 Yount cards are awesome, as are the '76 & '77 Fred Lynn cards, '76 Fisk, '77 Seaver, '76 Palmer... I could do this all night. Ignore '76 & '77 and you really are missing something.
