Although I started collecting baseball cards with buying a few packs of 1975 Topps at age 8, the 1977 set was the first set I put together from packs and continued the trend through 1978, yet the 1976 set is my favorite due to the crisp front design (especially the illustration graphics of the positions), followed by the clean 1974 set.
I finally put the 1976 set together in 1981 or so from local card shows (wow, are those even around anymore?), followed by the 1974 set finished in 1983.
One of my favorite "goofy" cards of the 1976 set is the Bazooka bubblegum card champion Kurt Bevacqua, with the brackets on the back.
I sold my less-than-complete 1975 cards a few years back (had just under 500 cards including Brett and Yount), but now I'm itching to try to put the set together again.....
