Topps did NOT photograph him in a Cardinal uniform. Not only did I check the file years ago but the paint job on the 1978 Underwood card confirms they missed him in '77.

BTW in a related topic if you've ever wondered about the mediocrity of the airbrushing I also found out why they looked like that. The artists had to ply their craft directly onto the 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" negatives. Suddenly their work doesn't seem so bad.
