1977 ken griffey

the 1977 o-pee-chee set is the top dog as far as variations go, by sheer numbers and by variety of variations.  here's ken griffey's o-pee-chee card from that year.

it's not a team variation or a text variation as griffey would remain a member of the big red machine for 4 more years.  and, although he was on the allstar team in 1976, he didn't start, so it's not an award variation.  so, it must be a photo variation.

here's the topps front:

yup.  and o-pee-chee's photo kicks topps' all around the ballpark.

now the o-pee-chee back:

and the topps back:

glad to see o-pee-chee didn't have to shrink the cartoon!

voici à vous, 1977 ken griffey!
