and the topps back:

he had been with the texas rangers in 1976, but, as you see above, the o-pee-chee card is not a team or text variation. instead, it's a photo variation as the canadian company freed ault from the topps 4-in-1 rookie card and gave ault a card all of his own.


as a blue jay, ault was the everyday first baseman in 1977, and he hit two home runs in their first ever game. he also tied with ron fairly for the team lead in rbi. ault was selected to the topps all-star rookie team and as a result had the topps rookie cup adorn his fantastic 1978 card.
