Which regular issue Topps set is your favorite/least favorite.

[Cardboard Junkie]

I really dislike the 73 topps set. My favorites are a 3 way tie 52(of course) 60 and 72. Yours? Chime in. Dave

My favorite is the 1963 set. I love the colors and it includes the Pete Rose RC.

My least favorite is all of the recent sets that have the same boring white border.

IMO Topps best runs were '54-56 and '65-67, their worst '57-62.
'57 has a good design but the photography is so muddy, a problem that plagues the '61 set as well. The photography is '73 is just bad- bad lighting, bad composition, bad everything. Reggie Jackson's card is a prime example.

Like a lot of collectors, it's hard to choose one. I'm a fan of 1955, 1956, 1957, 1967 and 1971.

Not a fan of 1958, 1961, 1963, 1966 and 1972.

As a kid, I loved the '56s because of the action shots and for the same reason, the '71s and '73s. Most of the action shots on the '73s you wouldn't see even on modern cards. Only recently did I realize that the cropping and photo choice for the '73 set is suspect. Lots of guys are facing the wrong way and Joe Rudi is not among any of the people pictured on his own card.

You guys who put down the 59 set should be taken out to the woodshed

[Eric72]

Favorite: 1952...though chasing down that set is too expensive for my budget.

Least favorite: Within the scope of this forum (Pre-1980) - I like 'em all!

Best Regards,
