Here we are at the end of the decade. This card always kind of freaked me out. Maybe it's the look of surprise that seems to be on Robin's face. I do however love the first appearance of the new Brewers logo on that hat, the logo itself appear the year before. Still my favorite Brewers logo. The design is pretty par for the course for the late 70's. Another year of a pretty basic design, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work, it's just not all that memorable. This year Topps pulled out all the stops not only using a baseball graphic on the front of the card to frame it's logo, but also brought it back to the back of the card to once again frame the card number. I still find it interesting that this is Robin's 5th Topps flagship card and his brother Larry is mentioned on three of them.
