Year: 1976
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Flagship
Card Number: 316
Card Type: Base
I've often thought about trying to put together a set from the 70's. Sure everyone's doing a 75 set, but for me it would be a toss up between 1974 and the 1976 sets.
The 1976 set is so subdued compared to its predecessor. I love the look of the set. It's not flashy, but it's very functional and personally very appealing to the eye. Robin's 76 card features a 20 year old Robin Yount entering his third year in the majors. I love the classic Brewers uniform and the perfect staged batting stance. The basic design of the card works so well. The two bars on the front featuring the player name, position, and team, a cool graphic, and a great border.
I'm also a big connoisseur of the backs of cards and this is one of the best from the 70's. The integration of the card number and bat/ball graphic is great and the card number is the perfect size for ease of collation. Plus Robin's complete major league batting record.
