I am a fan of this set as it was the third year I collected baseball cards as a kid and had several hundred which my mom threw out when we moved from Illinois in 1978.
Though I cannot post any cards my favorites include some already posted such as George Brett, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, Carlton Fisk, as well as Greg Luzinski and Steve Garvey.

CW, you da man!!! That Dave Kingman is perhaps my favorite card of all time!! He was such a pull hitter that I think the only question the card poses is whether or not his shot is curving around the foul pole at Shea.

Too funny, Darren...
I agree, it does look like he's judging whether it's fair or foul, and even considered describing it as such. Classic!I just looked up Dave Kingman's stats out of curiosity, and it's crazy to see that he played for 4 different teams in 1977... Mets, Padres, Angels, and Yankees! BTW, very cool oddball stuff, Al. That all-star puzzle is killer!

I have always really liked that 1977 Topps set. Here are my 5:
1) Mark Fidrych - Looks like this one is universal. Probably my all-time favorite card (see my avatar!). I think it maybe the only card from this era of Topps that has both the All Star Designation and the All-Rookie trophy. 2) George Brett - Always liked George Brett as a kid as this is a great card. 3) World Series (#412) - Like brob28 and the Pete Rose running hard, I like the two shots of Johnny Bench - blocking the plate and coming around third and being congratulated for his HR. 4) Rusty Staub - Good action shot and the All-Star designation. 5) Randy Jones - Another cool All-Star designation card. I probably would have used the Johnny Bench but I have other Benchs I want to use (hopefully that WS card doesn't count against me).

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 8E9s4l5-g3BRqj7u35+!~~60_57.JPG) 2. J.R. Richard-- I can still see this hulk of a man throwing BB's 8R)bQ~~60_57.JPG) 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 IcQ~~60_57.JPG) 5. Freddie Patek-- spark plug on a good run of Royals teams--I like the color on this one.
