I moved to a town with a card store in late 77, and had collected cards since very late 73.
I made a bit of "trade cash" by sorting 1978 sets from vending for the dealer.
So I have a lot of reasons to like the 78 set.
78 was a big year! chilly willee discs, Papa Ginos discs, RC cola cans, Hostess cards, Star wars..... cards were everywhere. Went to my first show early that year.
My main years collecting were 77-maybe 83?
But I can understand someone not liking the sets, by then Topps "art" dept was pretty much just mailing it in on most sports cards. I think a lot of the HOF players that have rookies in those sets are a little under rated, and the cards are too, so that there aren't any expensive cards in the sets doesn't bother me much.
