From coolest set to lamest set?
Just picked up a 1965 Topps Embossed Ernie Banks for a friend. A few thoughts--
I have to imagine kids in 1965 thought this was the coolest set ever! Gold baseball cards AND three dimensional. I could TOTALLY see a kid having to trade TWO regular Ernie Banks cards for just one of these embossed ones. But nowadays, all I can do is hate this set when I look at some of the cards. The players are practically invisible, the likenesses are poor, and the backs are pretty much blank. No bio or stats on the back either. So this gets my vote for the set that seemed the coolest when it came out but now seems super lame. Any competition for this honor?
