A GREAT CARD FROM 1978 ALONG WITH A RE-RUN?

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!
And I hope 2017 is great for you all!
 
I have always loved the 1978 Darrell Evans card. Don’t know what it is about it, but it has a classic look:


Love the shot, the colors, and especially the set, so I’ve always had this card as one of my favorites from 1978.
I have also always thought it was kind of funny that Topps came back in 1979 with somewhat of a duplicate card for the slugger, but without the same results:

Perhaps it is the overall color-scheme, or the San Francisco jersey he’s wearing (not a fan), or the fact that I never liked the 1979 set as far as the design went.
Just one of those many quirks Topps threw out there during the decade that has stuck with me all these years.
