Basic Features

The Greatest Moments set is regarded as one of the most elusive collections from the 1970s, making it particularly difficult to locate in excellent condition. Each card showcases a black-and-white image of the player, accompanied by a color-circled inset. On the reverse side, there is a newspaper headline story along with a cropped photograph. It is thought that this set was a test issue, mainly circulated in the Brooklyn, NY region.

Joe Pepitone is wearing a Cubs uniform on the front and has NY paper on the back. We will consider this a Cubs card, although some believe it to be a Yankee card.
