Evolution of '77 In Archives


The 1977 design was used for the third time in Archives 2018.  Each of the three years Topps used a different variation, and they have yet to duplicate the actual 1977 look.


This cloth sticker from 2012 was the first to try and copy 1977.  It was a fail as the Cubs name isn't even close to the real 1977 deal.


1977 returned in 2013 and they were better with the Cubs name, but still not quite there.


Here's the Archives and actual 1977 Reuschel card side by side.


And then there is this year's disaster with the white font on yellow flag.  Yikes!

Maybe if we see a 1977 card in next year's Archives they'll get it right.

...Sure
