I always liked this card, but it blew me away the first time I saw it in hand.

So many good options but plus one for me on this.

1957 Topps Mantle

Not that there's much value here...you could probably get all of these for $5 or less. I always loved the "living the dream" joy on the faces of Rice and Simmons faces in the 1978 set; the gritty determination of Pocoroba; and the almost perfect composition of the '78 Jackson (possibly one of the best looking cards ever). I zeroed in on 1978 because it's my favorite/first set.

I loved the '78's when I was a kid. Loved opening those packs. Liked them a little bit more then the '77's (which I also liked a lot), and a ton more then the '76's.

Great, clean design. I also remember the '79's coming out and thinking Topps really sh*t the bed on that one, outside of the "All-Time Record Holders" cards. I mean how else was I supposed to get a Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb or Cy Young card without spending more then 2 bucks on it (which I didn't have at the time).

Pretty sure, the Reggie card and this one were the ones I was hoping to pull every time I opened a pack up during the '78 season.

This is a great one too. I just think the color of the Yankees logo and mantles uniform work so well together.
