United States

In 1977 Topps produced a set featuring the New York Yankees for New York City area Burger King fast food restaurants. The cards were identical to the 1977 Topps regular issue cards and were distributed as part of a promotion at the company's outlets in the region. Some of the players had a different photo than their Topps counterpart. This Burger King set originally had 22 cards plus a checklist card, but a Lou Piniella card was added after the promotion began along with a revised checklist. Only the checklist card featured any Burger King branding.
