When I was a kid I bought a lot of 78 79 and some 80, but I had found ACDC, Van Halen and Led Zeppelin by that November, so cards no longer seemed important :-D I had a bunch of 72s and 73s as a kid but very few from other years for football, which was probably 2/3 of the size of my old baseball cards. I lost them all years ago in a move, or I should say they were probably stolen. I had the Staubach rookie and a bunch of others, sigh.
So far I've contemplated collecting the 78-80 sets for nostalgia's sake, and maybe the 72 and 73 sets, but I haven't pulled the trigger on anything. Adding: outside of the 72s, the football card designs of the 70s are kind of lacking IMO.
