ANOTHER FANTASY REGGIE JACKSON ORIOLES CARD

What can I say? I will never get tired of creating 1977 Reggie Jackson cards featuring him as a Baltimore Oriole, replacing the airbrushed horror I always felt his actual 1977 Topps card was. It’s like his one season in B-More never happened, so here goes yet another addition to the custom-card world:

After the blockbuster deal that brought him East from the Oakland A’s, Jackson had himself a very nice year with the “O’s”, hitting .277 with 27 homers and 91 runs batted in.
Remember, this was a season that had the New York Yankees Graig Nettles lead the American League with only 32 homers, so Reggie’s 27 was up there.
Of course, he’d go on to sign with the Yankees over the Winter as a Free Agent, add two more World Championships and a “Mr. October” moniker to his resume, and head straight to the Hall of Fame as one of the enduring icons of American sports to this day.
As a kid growing up a Yankee fan in the late-70’s/early-80’s, it was just awesome witnessing this personality first-hand!
And yes, I ate a ton of those “Reggie” bars, and they WERE great!
