here's the fourth sheet in the first of two steve garvey binders that contain the regular issue stuff, plus some oddballs that fit in regular sized 9-pocket sheets.
this sheet contains:1. 1975 sspc
2. 1976 topps dodger team
3. 1976 topps
4. 1977 burger chef disc
5. 1977 hostess
6. 1977 hostess twinkie
7. 1977 kellogg's
8. 1977 o-pee-chee
9. 1977 topps
as you'll recall from the previous post, the 1975 sspc card is mixed in with the 1976 cards, since i used to catalog that set as a 1976 set. now i call it a 1975 release based on the copyright date on the backs. speaking of backs, here's the back of the sheet
which is best used to note the difference between the regular hostess issue and the twinkie version. the twinkie card has that black bar on the back.
here's page number 5
which features:
1. 1977 topps dodger team
2. 1977 topps cloth sticker
3. 1977 topps cloth sticker nl all-star team/checklist
4. 1978 o-pee-chee
5. 1978 pepsi (trimmed)
6. 1978 sspc
7. 1978 topps
8. 1978 topps dodger team
9. 1978 wiffle ball disc
and the backs
the 1977 o-pee-chee card is more similar to the 1977 topps cloth sticker than the 1977 topps card due to the absence of the all-star banner, but you already knew all about those types of o-pee-chee variations, right?
there are a bunch of msa disc variations that i don't have from this span of garvey releases (with the others that i do own sitting in the oddball binder due to their size), but that's about all i'm missing here. for some reason, both hostess and kellogg's left the garv out of their 1978 sets, which is unfortunate.
next up, 1979...

Stumbled across your page when I was trying to figure out if there was actually a '78 Hostess Garvey as it had been left blank in my sheets for years! Thank you for confirming the omission by Hostess (& Kelloggs!). Great blog & trip down memory lane!
