Looks great with all the cards together. The Reggie base card is sweet! Heck a lot of good looking cards.

I think the somewhat muted design, with just the script flourish, lets the great portraits really shine. That said, the Reggie # 200 always takes me back to my kid days seeing him take those big swings!

I was HUGE into cards back in 1978. I think I had most of the info on the back of the 1978 cards memorized. I knew the height and weight of all the places and of course all their player stats as well. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 👍🏻

It's amazing the things we remember -- why do I know without a moment's thought that Robin Yount is card 173 in the '78 set? Just a different part of the memory bank I guess. Thanks for watching -- glad you enjoyed it!

Congratulations John! The Eddie Murray looks fantastic, that is my favorite in the set. Loved the table top tour, the cards you called out are definitely some of the best, I would add the Winfield to my callout list, I have always liked that card! Congrats again on completing your run, thanks letting us join in the journey!

Thanks, John -- it was great opening the package with the Murray slab, that's for sure! I forgot to show the card back, but it is quite nice, very sharp. A bit of print dotting on the front and a tad off center top are the main "issues" but I think it's a very nice 8. I can definitely see myself upgrading my Carew and Bench 7s to 8s someday.

Cool video, I’m putting together the hall of famers ungraded. I started collecting in 86 so I never had any of these cards as a kid, like this set because it gives you feel of vintage without a steep price.

Congrats! 1978 Topps is a good set! I think the later '70s seems to get over shadowed; not just by pre-war but the golden age vintage cards, though I believe the '70s decade will have its moments, but I also , like the reasoning for the why , you wanted to collect the '78s. The Eddie Murray is a great and iconic card. I met him, years ago at one of the O's fan fest, he was funny, and had some neat stories too
@jpcards

Thank you, and wow, that is so cool that you got to meet him! What a great memory to have. Maybe now that Topps Heritage has entered the second half of the '70s (which I think had better sets than '70-'74), we'll see the decade get more of its due.

Outstanding job in putting together all of the 1978 Topps Hall of Famers either in PSA 7's or PSA 8's (I am jealous, and I also hope Thurman Munson finally gets elected to the Hall of Fame). Also, you mentioned you are a New York Yankee fan (me too!) - they are off to a fantastic start in 2024 going 30 wins and 15 losses as of May 17th. Let's hope the momentum carries them to their 28th World Series Championship victory!
@jpcards

Thanks! And thanks so much for watching and commenting. I think Munson's best chance for the HoF will be around the time Buster Posey is eligible, and I think he gets in, quite possibly on the first ballot. Their numbers are very similar. Re: the 2024 Yanks, I like the overall vibe so far, hopefully it continues!

Great run. Can I assume you have this on the PSA Registry? You got some great deals. I found that 1978 set came with a number of issues. I have seen printing smudges and there were cardboard stock issues with excessive wrinkles among other problems. This was fun to look at.

It’s amazing how our generation started collecting at the same time. I was born in 1972 and also started collecting in 1978. I had 2 older brothers who collected together, but even at 6 years old I wanted my own collection so I collected by myself. . To this day, they still argue about how to split their cards if they ever sold them. They have different memories as each one said THEY got the Henderson rookie in a pack, or Ozzie Smith rookie, or Brett rookie. Lol. 46 years later, my collection is mine and mine only. Lol Do you have a 1978 Pete Rose as he is a Hall of Famer, just not by ballot?
@jpcards

Certainly nice to know which cards are yours! I do have a '78 Rose raw currently. I think I have his Record Breaker as well. Until/unless his status changes, I probably won't buy them slabbed as there are other Rose cards I'm targeting: '76, '71 Super and either '65 or '66 in particular.

Indeed, there are great deals out there for the collector. Not sure about Molitor, even more so given Trammell got his own RC essentially with the '78 Topps Burger King Tigers issue. Up next? Well, I've started a goal of collecting 1954 Hall of Famers who aren't in '54 Topps -- 13 Bowmans, plus the Musial Red Heart. I have five so far, but it'll take a while. I may entertain another lower-cost, larger card amount goal at some point.

Thurman Munson not being in the Hall of Fame is a national travesty and a black mark on Major League Baseball! He won AL Rookie of the Year, AL MVP, 3 Gold Gloves, a scintillating .414 World Series & Playoff average and won 2/3 World Series in a row as leader & Yankee Captain.

If he doesn't get buzz and makes this upcoming vets committee vote, I think he could by the time Buster Posey is close to getting in. He and Posey have very similar stat lines and I think Posey could get in on the first ballot. Thanks for watching and commenting!
