1978 Topps Image Inventory

[Fleerfan]

Love the look back at the 1978 set as it was one of the first sets I collected. Regarding the Orioles review, the picture of Mark Belanger is from Memorial Stadium. That is the Memorial Stadium scoreboard in the background with the National Bohemian (Natty Boh) sign.

So it is! Thanks! I will update my list.

It is probably a Dodgers image underneath the airbrush.....

Same folding chairs in the background.

Same gray t shirt underneath.

Same lock of hair across his ear.

Outstanding! I agree it's a match.

Walton was with the Dodgers in the spring of 76 and 77 - any idea what year this image might be from? Do you know the source?

I think I am actually calling this one for Holman Stadium in Vero Beach in the spring of 76 - at least a couple Dodger cards from 77 (Goodson, Buckner) were taken there and there is a strong resemblance. Also, not that it proves something, but none of the Dodgers photos in the 78 set taken at Holman in '77 used the seats/dugout area as a backdrop.

Taken at Shea....the same indent in the trees to the left.

Again - I concur - thanks!

Rivera never made the Montreal roster during 77. The only trips he made to Shea as a major leaguer before then came in 1976 - 4/9-4/11, 8/2-8/4, and 9/27-9/29.
