Looking Back At The 1978 Topps Burger King Detroit Tigers Set

As the front of the checklist card specified, packets of three Tigers cards were given away with any sandwich purchase to kids 14 and under, one set per customer per visit. Having a younger sister that wasn’t interested in baseball was beneficial because visits to Burger King on errand-running day with Mom meant getting two packets!

Discovering the players pictured on each card was a new experience for a youngster that hadn’t known anything about Tigers baseball before then, but was ready to learn.

For the most part, the pictures on the cards distributed by Burger King were identical to those on their counterparts in Topps’ regular issue set.
