Best of 1978 Topps

[Bigdaddy]

1. Reggie, an almost perfect baseball card

and the rest in no particular order:

2. Mickey Rivers, cool follow through on his swing, with his helmet shading his eyes
3. Jim Palmer, great colors and loved seeing his Wilson glove up close
4. Munson, reminds me of the '76 Bench card, surveying the field in front of him like a general in battle
5. Fisk, great photo and I loved the AS logos

Honorable mentions:
Don Gullett, Carl Yaz, Johnny Bench, McCovey RB, Brooks RB

And a couple of personal notes:

• If I didn't say it before, I loved the AS logo, and the fact that it was in different places on the card
• Never much cared for the Eddie Murray RC, just didn't like it
• This was the first set I really collected, probably had over 3000 of 'em
• The Yankees, in gerenal had the best photography of any team. Lots of action shots
• I seemed to pull more Tony Perez cards than Carter had liver pills
• Several strong RCs including Morris, Trammel/Molitor, Whitaker, Dale Murphy (again)/Parrish and Murray
