Regarding the 1973 Topps Reggie Jackson card, I think it was done as a joke.

In the book “The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book” Topps honcho Sy Berger while interviewed mentioned that he was a really good friend of Reggie Jackson. My guess is that is why the Jackson photo was used, kind of a “gotcha” thing between two guys.

Maybe he made it up to him later on. I really love Reggie's 1978 card. Classic Reggie in the batters box, with the sunglasses and the follow through.

When I was a little kid opening up packs my uncles bought me in 1978, that was THE card to get.

That’s an all-time capture on that card. I’ve always liked the history of this one from the same set — got it signed by Reggie last year:

I'm opposed to Reggie Jackson in a New York Yankees uniform.

That's Ok. I'm opposed to him in an Angels uniform.

Would love to have a copy of his 1977 Topps in an Orioles uniform though. His Yankees card for that year is pretty atrocious to.
