Love all these 1977 cards, Jeff. People had cooler facial hair then. - --Mischa (talk) 13:10, 19 August 2013 (EDT)
The great thing about baseball cards is that when you're leafing through them, you're transported to that time in history. Facial hair changes over time. Hairstyles change drastically over time (crew cuts in the 60's, hair flowing out the sides of caps in the 70's). And the uniform changes can be glaring. Stirrups are gone (boo), but the powder blue road unis from the 80's are gone too (yay). --Jeff (talk) 21:24, 19 August 2013 (EDT)
Another fascinating thing is some of the background elements on the cards from spring training pictures: palm trees, of course, but also vintage cars. Check out this one [1] ! --Philippe (talk) 05:01, 20 August 2013 (EDT)
