1978 topps is my favorite set ever. mostly for sentimental reasons, but i do really like the design. most of the dodgers from that year are still around, and i have enjoyed my limited foray into the world of through the mail autographs, so i decided to try to complete a team autographed set.
i will try to do it primarily ttm, but i may hit up ebay if there is a roadblock with a certain player. for glenn burke and johnny oates, ebay is going to be the only likely source for me. i already have a steve garvey autographed 78 topps, 
but that's with my garvey collection, so i will be sending another one his way.

Great project! The '78 Topps set is a good one. None of those facsimilie autographs to foul things up. The Burke autograph will be a tough one to get. Are you going to have Tommy Lasorda autograph the team card?
matt - i have a couple of ideas for the team card, but lasorda has his own card in this set.
Duh! I forgot about that!
