This is probably my favorite Topps card design. This card has all the elements. The All-Pro banner, "1,000 Yarder" logo, and a great photo. The best card of the 70's era.

I've come to appreciate this set in recent years. It was my least favorite set for a long time. It seems uninspired. The Dorsett card is a good example of that fact. Great player, but this card is not his best.

I remember getting this card in a pack. He was exciting to watch that year.

Not a HOFer, but this set is lacking in rookie power. I was able to buy a full box of this set a couple years ago. It was fun opening packs and my collection consists of mostly "pack-fresh" cards.

This is the obvious card to display from this set. It's not my favorite card from this set, that honor goes to #202 Walter Payton "Super Action". I loved that card as a kid.

Helmet logos are back! I wonder if the guy who airbrushed helmets lost his job? Taylor is a solid choice for this year. Ronnie Lott and Anthony Munoz are the two other HOFers with RC's this year. Either one of them would display well too.

This is a pretty solid set as far as design goes. Like the '80 and '82 sets, it does like in rookie power though.

I chose to display the Marino...well...because I like him better than Elway.

Since I don't have the Moon rookie, I decided to give the spot to Elway.

This spot belongs to Jerry Rice...but sadly, I don't have one. It could also go to Reggie White, Andre Reed, or Bruce Smith. Since Young would be the guy throwing to Rice, I figured I'll let him hold the spot until I'm able to acquire a Rice card.
