Again, not one of my favorite sets, but I like it more than '78. The Schmidt card is easily his best IMO, and would make my list if it wasn't already picked. Here are 5 of my favorites from that year:
1. Jim Rice--I think it's his best card

2. J.R. Richard-- I can still see this hulk of a man throwing BB's

3. Ray Fosse--unusual pose and paying homage to one of the most hideous uniforms ever
4. George Foster-- classic slugger's pose from the Big Red Machine; one of the few where the All- Star stripe doesn't look obtrusive

5. Freddie Patek-- spark plug on a good run of Royals teams--I like the color on this one.
