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.

Received this card signed in the mail. Chris is currently a coach with the Cincinnati
Reds. He played in the majors for 19 years and started and ended his career with the same team, the San Francisco Giants. In between, he played for Montreal, St Louis, Minnesota, and the Chicago Cubs. He was a 3 time All-Star, and was a lifetime .246 hitter with 112 HR's and 720 RBI's. Chris is also the father of former Blue Jay pitcher Justin Speier.
