55, 60, 72 in that order.

Got to be 55 and 71. They are the only ones I completed.

For pure looks though probably 54, the 56, and finally 67

Drew

love 52-56

not a fan of anything 1957 and forward

1965. Just love that Topps issue.

1. 1977
B. 1957
III. 1953

...Then I don't wanna be right...LOVE THE '83s!! (just not quite enough to crack my top three)

Not just because it's the year I was born.

1967

1. 1952 (set the wheels in motion for all modern sets)
2. 1955 (amazing combination of horizontal design with vibrant colors)
3. 1961 (classic design with some of the best "specials" ever produced)
4. 1975 (most colorful set ever produced, amazing rookies, plus the "minis")

I like the 1972 set because of all the colors and action shots. 1960 would probably be my second choice. Unfortunately i was born in 1973 and think the 1973 design was one of the worst, design wise but have 20 thousand of them anyways.

When I was a youngster, I collected 1954 thru 1960 Topps. My favorite was/is 1957, one of the biggest reasons being that the players' stats for each year of their careers are on the backs. I loved "reading" players' stats, box scores, etc. as a youngster, and I still do!

I like this one too

'57

Amending my original vote, '54 edges out '53 barely.

1952
 

1952 or 1973 comic

1957 - Remember chasing the "tough" series all the way from IL to NY on a family trip, finally finding a box in Lorain, OH and then the store owner(a relative) wouldn't sell me the whole box!!

I like the '55 Topps. Too much going on in the '56 for me.

1955

1963 ... Love the colors and the design

Oh and of course it includes this........

I, too, love the oversized sets from '52-56, with '53 being my favorite. Such a simple design with amazing artwork on almost every card. The exception being the Whitey Ford card. It looks like he's in considerable pain from a bad case of constipation.

Favorite set is the 1951 Connie Mack's All- Stars. Also any baseball card with Don Mossi on it.

My favorites are the 1955 Topps, I have a starter set of them that began in the dumbest way possible.

Years ago I bought a 1956 Topps Jackie Robinson when I was getting cards from the 50-60's of certain players(55 Bowman Mays, 53 Paige, Killebrew rookie, 57 Campanella etc). Anywho, I decided to collect a set from the 50's, so without going back and looking, I said I really like that 55 Robinson I have so I'm going to collect that set...Had about 40 cards before I actually looked for the Robinson, found it and saw my mistake.

That story being said to appease the vintage masses, I honestly like the 1987 Topps set better than any others. It is what I collected the most as a kid, love the design and the selection of players, especially the young players included at the time.

1952 TOPPS


60 years ago this month, I opened up a TOPPS 5-cent pack and was delighted to find Mickey (and 4 more Hi #s).

1957
1972
1963 in that order
Honorable mention to 1977 and 1956

1. 1956
2. 1960
3. 1959

1956. Only 50's set I have with 164 duplicates all autographed.

1956

Favorite Topps set
 

I will go with 1967.

'54 is my favorite, followed by '63

62 is special because it was my first introduction to cards as a kid, but 57 is my favorite. Best non-regular set . . . 64 coins, but only in NM. The rusty ones suck.

1. 1956

1963 is my favorite. Love all the color. 2012 Topps Heritage is the only complete set I've ever collected because of the '63 design.

My Favorites
 

Can't help but say 1953. Great color potraits, just beautiful. But also, I have been in love with the 1963 set for several years. About 90% finished.

Nice! I may have to add a complete '63 set to my collecting goals. Good luck with the 10%.

I like the 85's.

1954 and 1976

I really want to say 56, but my love will always be with '86, my first year of collecting.

1. 1954
2. 1957
3. 1955

I would have to say 1956 and 1961 Topps (with the portrait shots)

1956 and 1972!

I'm partial to the 1976 Topps set for several reasons: it's clean design and the player/position graphic, it was the first set that I built as a kid, and love that Kurt Bevacqua Bazooka bubble gum contest card! Also, my Texas Rangers team card is signed (in-person while playing golf) by then manager Frank Lucchessi.
