- I didn't check the "4-player rookie cards," but I don't think there were any HOFers on those cards -- please correct me if I'm wrong or if I missed any HOFers on this list.
- Do you remember those ads that used to be in the collector's catalogs for series sets? Larry Fritsch cards (among others) used to advertise these sets and list the highlights in each series. It was fun to figure out which series I would like to have the most. Out of these series in 1976, which one would have been your favorite back in the day?
That's a tough choice between checklist 3 and checklist 4, but I'd probably choose #3 back then. Bench and Fisk were both big-time cards then. And I was a fan of Rice and the Red Sox. Yount was a big deal, too.
