I wasn’t in the hobby for those, but the “early” card I hear most about in terms of RC hype is the 1977 Topps Mark Fidrych. The Bird seemed to capture everyone’s imagination.

That title would go to none other than Joe Charboneau of the Cleveland Indians in 1981.

Kittle actually graduated from William Wirt High School in Gary Indiana.
