A nice find at an antique mall

A bit of a mixed bag with the '74s. Not a ton of star power, but there is a Mike Schmidt second year and a Dave Parker rookie. Lots of league leader and All-Star cards and a miscut Reggie.

Also, the second stack had a '74 Hank Aaron #1 (home run king) on top, but that turned out to be the only '74 card in the bundle. Everything else is 1976.

The '75s are in pretty good condition overall but a little light on star power. Some of the stars (Gibson and F. Robinson especially) have significant edge and corner wear. I already have these cards anyway, so not a big deal. No major rookies in this bunch.

The second stack of '76s revealed an obligatory Dick Pole and Pete LaCock, along with the Kurt Bevacqua bubble blowing champ card.

1975 Brooks has to be one of the best cards ever made visually

Very nice. I would have made the same purchase. And had the same thrill going through them as you did. Like going back to the '70s and opening packs - you don't know who you'll get.

Fun times.

The second stack of '77s was in great condition, but it was most notable for having a '76 card within it that happened to be a Ron Guidry RC (albeit a smudged one).

I always loved that '77 Jim Palmer card, with the light and dark contrast in the background.

Was it fun? if so, a great way to spend $60 on 70s 'unopened'.

For the most part, the '78s are in great shape. Again, the top card in the bundle (Reggie World Series card) is beat up, but overall this stack of approx. 125 cards might be the best quality top to bottom. This includes a very nice Eddie Murray rookie which is great except for a small ding in the upper left corner. I already have the '78 set, so these will be used for trades or as upgrades for my current set.
