I spent way too much time on the 1979 set. Looking at the fine print to find errors and copyright differences is a slow process.
There are really two different sets. The first is the set on thin card stock with the white border. The second version has a thick card stock and the border color is some kind of cream color.
I haven't gotten any new variations lately. I still need to confirm how many available possibilities exist.
I have no problem with the smaller card size. Unfortunately, lots of the thicker stock cards tend to curl.
Nolan Ryan was 10-13 in 1978 so he didn't get into the 1979 set. There is a good group of stars with Brett, Jackson and Rose. Someday I will need to see which set did the best job depicting the best stars possible.
I used to see lots of these cards on ebay in the past. Now I see lots of sets, but not any large lots. This seems to be the first set that is readily available as a factory set. Will that hurt its long-term value? The value doesn't impact how I rate the sets.
