1978 Country Kitchen Vikings Football Cards
There are seven photos in the 1978 Country Kitchen Vikings set. They were distributed by Country Kitchen restaurants, a chain headquartered in Madison and concentrated in the upper midwest. (I assume that the pictures were available only around Minneapolis.) The pictures are 5x7, and they are printed on glossy paper, like most team issue photos. The backs of the pictures contain bios of the players. The photos are not numbered, so I have listed the players in alphabetical order.
