Fidrych, Munson, Lynn, J.R. Richard, Garvey

Each of these cards are beautiful if you can find them "right"

In order from 1 to 9 (I know, only 5, so just count the first 5)

1 - #640 Fisk - Exciting play at the plate
2 - #260 J.R. Richard - Power pitching personified
3 - #10 - Reggie Jackson - The dominant baseball personality of the 70's
4 -#655 - Tony Perez - Love him and Lee May's (#380) cards staring down that bat
5 - #495 - Al Hrabosky - My 2nd favorite Cardinal as a kid
6 - #188 - Bobby Tolan - We all practiced that batting stance as kids
7 - #450 - Pete Rose - Concentrating on the batter
8 - #534 - Paul Splittorf - Mouth open, giving everything he has
9 - #345 - Reggie Smith - Great switch hitting swing - Why did the Cards trade him for Joe Ferguson????

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.

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.

This is a set that Topps Heritage will make look good. I liked the overall design, but the photography sucked, and the expansion teams had many bad airbrush cards also.

Fidrych was the best-looking card in the set IMO.

I love the 1977 topps set. The Brett card is my favorite. The all star banners that year are really cool.
