1977 Topps Burger King Yankees
Description
1977 Topps Burger King Yankees is a 24-card New York Yankees team set distributed at Burger King restaurants in the New York area. The design is identical to the 1977 Topps set, however many of the photos have been updated to include new acquisitions.
The Lou Piniella card was added late, and is short-printed. According to legend, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was furious Pinella -- Steinbrenner's sons favorite player -- was omitted from the set and demanded Pinella be added to the set.
Only the checklist has any Burger King branding.
Distribution
Three player cards plus one un-numbered checklist per pack.
