I was about 8 or 9 years when this set came out. It is a smaller version of the 1977 Topps baseball set, with 264 cards. Many cards in this set feature different player photos, players with new teams and heavy emphasis on Blue Jays and Expos players. I ended up with almost 2 full sets, so I figured why not try to get as many autographed as possible.
