70s Saturday - 1976 SSPC Cubs

 Today I've got a big set, the 24-card 1976 SSPC Cubs.  

Actually, the copyright on the cards says 1976 though the cards weren't released until 1976.  Star Sports Publishing Company put out the set, and they did so as rogues.  They had no license with either the players or the leagues.  Legal issues (no wonder!) forced them to withdraw the set.  

It was a big set too, comprised of 630 cards and 24 of those are Cubs. The set includes players that were traded to the Cubs over the winter of 1975-76.  They are shown in the uniforms of their previous team while listed as a Cub on the back.

The design of the front is as minimalist as you can get - a picture of the player, a black line around the picture, and a white border.  If you didn't recognize the player then you'd have to flip the card to see who it is.

The card below are in alphabetical order, so that may help you figure out who they are.  Otherwise, I have the names listed below.  How many can you name before you get to the list?
