I think this is my favorite set from an all around design, action photos, and the specials (AS badges, trophies). A lot of great, memorable cards for me. Maybe the hardest set to just pick 5.
My favorite Garvey card, so he would be top 5.
Fidrych *
C. Morton
Luzinski
Bench
Carew
Travers
Garr
Seaver *
Templeton
Cuellar
Munson
Tanana
LeFlore
M. Marshall
Frisella
J. Thompson
J. Hughes
R. Smith
Garvey *
Staub *
TBC Subset
Matlack
Rose
Simmons
Kingman
Cabell
Palmer
Yount
Fisk *
Spenser
I have always said that Tanana was my favorite shot from the set, but that Fisk is pretty awesome. Both would have been all-time greats with AS banners. In fact, had Topps used a shot similiar to ny of the pitchers above on the Fidrych card, it might have been better than the 76 Bench! Action, set design, color scheme, trophy and AS banner. Unprecedented! It had everything but the action shot for me.
