FT: 1977 Topps Burger King Lou Piniella SP

[JollyElm]

I have these three now two very cool #23 1977 Burger King Lou Piniella SP's for trade...



They are probably in the ex+ shape range with bumped corners, as you can see in the scans. No creases or anything like that.

These SP's were incredibly tough to come by back in the day, and for us Whopper-eating New Yorkers, there were many, many rumors swirling about as to why 'Sweet Lou' was seemingly omitted from the set. We found out after the season was over that he was apparently added only at the very end of the run, but none of my friends or I ever got one at BK. These cards have always been--and very much still are--absolutely impossible to find in any shape!! So get one while you can.

The only difference between a regular Topps card and its BK counterpart is the number on back: #96 for his Topps card and #23 for this set. If you're unfamiliar with the Burger King cards or want to read a short, interesting piece on them, check out this article I ran across:
