Favorite "in action" cards

A couple great 74T FB cards, including one of my favorite FB images of all time:

Fran Tarkenton!

Like BB, FB had a lot of great action shots starting around 73 (72 IA subsets count I suppose) into the early 80s when it became commonplace.

Oh man this thread is in my wheelhouse. Great call on the '78 Reggie. Heck, a lot of great Yankee action shots in that '78 set. That '74 Tarkenton has always puzzled me. I distinctly remember my Mom coming home one day with a few packs for me and pulling that Tarkenton, and even at age 10 I was like "what the heck?!?", was it airbrush practice day? Don't have a scan of mine handy yet, but I think the '75 Tarkenton is one of the prettiest cards of the '70s as well. Keep 'em coming guys, this is fun for a '70s kid.

I know this is baseball and we took it off course, but Fran did get some nice action treatment from Topps in the 70s. My first favorite player.

How about Hostess? Not that many good action shots on those cards, so they really stand out. Here is one of my favorites.

Munson about to take a hit on a throw home. You can see the ball coming in the upper right.

Munson also seems to be in the Doug Ault card and Fran Healy cards shown above

Best card in the set (outside of Willie Mays). The only thing that would have made this cooler was if were Thurm's card, instead of Crowley's. Thurm's '73 card kinda sucked.
