I want something that represents the character of the game and Hobby at that time.
If I were to try to pick cards which showed the game as it was in the 1970s, these would do it.
I might add that the Brett Rookie, was not a hot card in the hobby until the 1980s.
1973 Topps Bench- Greatest action shot in the 70s
1976 Topps Traded Oscar Gamble- Stylin'
1970 Kellogg's Clemente- Beautiful portrait, initial offering of cards that every kid had whether they collected or not
1979 Topps Blyleven- these unis clearly represent the 70s style
1973 Topps Aaron/Ruth/Mays all time HR leaders- this represents the hype and talk of a whole two or three years in the 70s
1978 Topps World Series- Reggie and Yankees Reign Supreme- probably the most remembered moment of the 70s
1971 Topps Steve Garvey- This card was hot in the 70s
1973 Topps Pete Rose- Another great action shot
1977 Renata Galasso Joe DiMaggio- Every collector had these
1974 Topps Washington Team- the Error craze of the 70s centered around these
