Just the 60’s:
1966 - My favorite, though a challenge to complete. Love the team stripe banner and salmon backs. The Mays card is my favorite of the 60’s
1967 - Great clean fronts, good photography, and a nice clean back to match
1962 - I’m a sucker for wood borders
1969 - Great clean design again, like the 67’s, but a few too many capless portraits and recycled photos (more than the normal handful)
1965 - Love the pennant banner!
1964 - Bonus points for the photos that break over the top border
1963 - Middle of the road set, little to dislike but nothing that catches the eye especially. The multi-rookie cards are especially ugly, though, even by vintage Topps standards
1968 - Actually sort of like the burlap. Really love the vertical backs
1960 - Not as big of a fan of horizontal fronts usually. Love the back design though. Like the rookie design too
1961 - love the design, but the photos are among the weakest ever used. All the capless shots and airbrushing. Killerebrew especially deserves a decent card. The All Star design and shots are great.
