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.

1990 Topps I always thought was pretty boring when it came to the photography.

Burger King saved the day for us kids in the summer of '77 by capturing Reg in his Yankees uniform.
Everyone was driving their moms bananas, begging them to bring us to BK to chow down a Whopper and try to land a REG-GIE instead of a (no offense) Fran Healy!!!!

Phenomenal times!! Seems like yesterday.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
