The card fronts feature a larger than normal color photograph of the player. The players' names and teams are located along the bottom, and the players' positions are noted inside a baseball on the top right. Most of the starting all-star team from 1977 had a red, white, and blue shield instead of a baseball.The "then and now" format on the card front of the manager in the set depicts him as he appeared when he was a player.
These cards' backs featured a baseball game along with the player's bio, the usual statistics, and a small blurb about their career. All in all, it's a nice set for Cubs fans to collect.
