Beat me to it. 78T Reggie is THE Reggie card.

100% agree. Top 20 hobby card, not just Reggie Card

A couple great 74T FB cards, including one of my favorite FB images of all time:

Fran Tarkenton!

Like BB, FB had a lot of great action shots starting around 73 (72 IA subsets count I suppose) into the early 80s when it became commonplace.

Oh man this thread is in my wheelhouse. Great call on the '78 Reggie. Heck, a lot of great Yankee action shots in that '78 set. That '74 Tarkenton has always puzzled me. I distinctly remember my Mom coming home one day with a few packs for me and pulling that Tarkenton, and even at age 10 I was like "what the heck?!?", was it airbrush practice day? Don't have a scan of mine handy yet, but I think the '75 Tarkenton is one of the prettiest cards of the '70s as well. Keep 'em coming guys, this is fun for a '70s kid.

I know this is baseball and we took it off course, but Fran did get some nice action treatment from Topps in the 70s. My first favorite player.

How about Hostess? Not that many good action shots on those cards, so they really stand out. Here is one of my favorites.
