1977 Topps Images Needed

Good God, man!!!!

You've given us all the warm and tinglys (no idea if that's how it's spelled, but "tinglies" or "tingleys" doesn't seem to work right, so who knows?)!!!!
That is really cool, and the main card graphic - showing the great mix of action shots and in-stadium, game-day portraits of mostly regular players (not just HOFers) from that great set - really pulls you right in.
For those of us who were amassing cards that year, it really brings us back, and brings us back with a big smile.

Awesome job!!

Great work on this and all the other years.

One correction on this. You have:

* -Although he was selected and played as a member of the Orioles, Grich appears in the 1977 set with the Orioles with whom he signed during the off-season.

I think the second Orioles above should be Angels.

Also, wax packs were sold in 1975 boxes with a sticker for 1977 on the box. Here is an example from an old auction.

Correction made - thanks for finding it!

And the wax box is a great addition as well - they either had a surplus of 1975 boxes sitting around the warehouse or else didn't print enough of the 1977 boxes.

Wonder why they didn't use them in 1976? Probably somewhere there's an image of one with a sticker announcing it contains 1976 cards!

Great coverage of this issue. 1977 Topps was the first year that I bought cards in wax packs, so this set holds a special memory for me. I really love the photos, design and All-Star banners. Was especially excited in 1977 to see four Cincinnati Reds (my fav team) noted as All-Stars. The Fidrych card is a classic.

A couple of thoughts - only four of 18 of the 1977 All Stars eventually made it to the HOF. I wonder how that compares to other years where Topps put the All-Star banner on cards. And none of the Topps All Rookie team members eventually made it to Cooperstown.

Thanks for putting this together.

Hell yeah, that's an excellent webpage profiling one of the best sets ever. Nicely done!

What a great trip down memory lane! Takes me back to my early years of collecting. Really enjoy your thorough look at the sets as well as your coverage of the packaging.

Although it is a seperate set, you may want to add the 1977 cloth stickers as it is basically a parallel set.
