My vote goes to the 1953 set.....

Gold: 1954

For me its a tie between 1953 and 1954

I love the 1956 and 1960 sets. Great colors on both!
|
It's 1956 for me.
|
1956 for me.

Seriously, I thought the 1983 was a very good effort.
By decade: 1956 1961, but only if they are clean 1977 1983 |
Early returns:
1954 - 3 1956 - 2 1953, 1955, 1959 an 1967 - 1 each Note: If you submitted 2 favorites your votes don't count. |
I really like 1956, but I would not give up my 1967's
|
1957 Great background photos of classic stadiums
1967 close second. Clean, uncluttered look, great checklist, challenging high numbers to chase. |
It's interesting that out of the first sixteen responses no one has mentioned the supposed post-war Holy Grail, 1952 Topps.
It would be hard for me to choose just one set but if I were pressed I'd probably have to go with 1953 Topps. I'd also give props to Topps for the 1958, '59, '60, '62, '63 and '71 designs as well. |
1957
|
I would vote for 1955. I love the colors.
|
1956, 1971, 1986 (seriously)
|
'55 Would get my vote. Love the Koufax / Clemente rookies
|
UPdate:
1954, 55, 56 - 3 each 1953, 57 - 2 each 1959 and 1967 - 1 each Ignoring those of you that can't make a decision on a single issue. Come'on take a stand. |

If I had to choose one of my two, it would be '56.
I hope that counts now. |
1953 gets my vote
|
1956 followed by 1957.
|
1967
|
1952, followed by either 1956 or 1954.
|
Another vote for '56.
|
1959 Bazooka
favorite "mainstream" set 1960 Runner Ups 1978- Love the backs with the game on them 1959- I really like this set, but the Campanella card I find to be depressing/prevents me from wanting to collect the set. |
I'll go 1971 topps.
|
1957. I also like the '55 Bowmans.
|
1955
|
1961, since that's the one I'm currently working on.
|
I'd have to go with 1956, 1952, and 1954. I'm sorry, but whoever is naming anything in the 1980's is just wrong! :p
|
Funny...I was discussing this with a collecting friend recently...and I think almost all of the topps issues up to the mid 70's were pretty damn cool...esp compared to the lack of imagination and creativity of the last 20-30 yrs.
Tough to pick a favorite...but I've always been partial to the oversized 50's issues...as I had hardly any of them as a kid!!!! |
1968 3D....easily, no runner up.
|
1954 followed by 1985!
|
1957
|
1957-first complete set as a kid. Now in landfill thanks to stepmother.
|
1972 - Chasing after the last series nearly burned the tires off my bike! Second pick would be 1955.
|
tie 53/52
then 55 57 |
To add to my original post:
1954 1983 2001 Stadium Club (don't be a hater) |
