MAJOR LEAGUE CHAMPS DEPICTED ON TEAM CARDS IN THE 1970'S

I was always a fan of team cards, and the 1970's gave us the good (1975/76/77/78), the bad (1973/74), and the downright ugly (1970).
For this post I wanted to upload all the world champ team cards from 1970-1979. So therefore, really what this is about are the champs between 1969-1978 (the previous years winner).
My personal favorites are the 1975 and 1976 Reds cards, and the 1978 Yankees team card. Topps just had a nice style for these years team cards.
Here we go:

The "Miracle Mets" (though NOT designated on front) on a dull grey design. Ugh.

Nice card, but again with no team name presented. Sorry Orioles!

Funky 1972 design with a not so funky picture.

Can anyone say BORING!!??

Not that much of an improvement from the year before.
Love that 1975 color scheme for the Three-peaters!

The "Big Red Machine" in all their glory!

Repeat champs, and one of my favorite team cards.

"The Bronx Zoo" crew. Love this card.

The decade's THIRD repeat champs.
