AnthonyI think iconic design is the key to a set being considered classic.
I'd agree with Jason's list on the '50's, but on the '60's think it would be '65 and '67. On the '70's you'd have to include '72, and on the '80's you'd have to include '89 Upper Deck, due to the higher production quality.
And of the sets issued in the '40's (since part of the decade was post war, even though my pick isn't) '41 Playball would be head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. Although I'm sure Al C. will argue for MP & P's.
