Your toughest one will be the '72 set, between the number of cards and the high numbers (though for me the '72 was the easiest and I completed it in 1972 since I bought the set from an ad in the back of The Sporting News). Part would also depend on the condition you are looking for.
Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I'm leaning toward '65. Aesthetically it's probably my favorite design, and the lack of challenging high numbers probably makes it's 598 easier than 1963's 576. While I will do '72 at some point, I don't want to start with a set that has nearly 800 cards. VG-EX should probably work for me condition wise to do the '65s - ironically the 3 big stars I already have out of that set (Mantle, Aaron, Carlton) are already about 4's. I also forgot I have the Tiant rookie in an SGC 5.5.
