Favorite cards, Topps Baseball 1975 - 1980

I realize that this thread won't appeal to everyone, but we all could (conceivably) contribute. If you had to pick a top 10 for this half decade (75-80, which coincidentally happens to be the years I collect) image ,what ten would you choose? Try not to let value affect your selections here. Just think about your favorite ten from this time period. Here are mine:

1) 1976 Pete Rose
2) 1977 Steve Garvey
3) 1977 Thurman Munson
4) 1976 Rod Carew
5) 1975 Pete Rose
6) 1977 George Brett
7) 1977 Dave Kingman
8) 1976 Graig Nettles
9) 1977 Mark Fidrych
10) 1978 Reggie Jackson

Honorable Mention: 1977 Greg Luzinski, 1980 Nolan Ryan, 1976 Reggie Jackson, 1977 Rusty Staub, 1975 Hank Aaron (#1)

I have to admit, my list changes on a near weekly basis...

    This thread is worthless without pictures. I never collected these sets so I have no idea what these cards look like. Any examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
