I like how they misspelled Ernie Riles’ name as “Earnie” on both front and back of the card.
Two Hall of Famers appeared in this pack. Reggie Jackson Turn Back the Clock to 1977:
“…but the ultimate fulfillment of 1977 was performed by Reggie Jackson who batted .450 (9-for-20) with 1 Double, 5 Home Runs and 8 RBI’s in leading Yankees to victory in World Series vs. Dodgers. In winning the Babe Ruth Award as Classic’s Most Valuable Player, he walloped three Roundtrippers in sixth and final game, each dramatically consumated on the very furst pitch he saw at the plate.”
and Sparky Anderson:
Sparky Anderson was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a manager, managing the Reds and Tigers for a total of 26 seasons and a combined record of 2194-1834. He won 5 pennants and 3 World Series titles as a manager.
