Seriously, I thought the 1983 was a very good effort.

By decade: 1956
1961, but only if they are clean
1977
1983

1957 Great background photos of classic stadiums
1967 close second. Clean, uncluttered look, great checklist, challenging high numbers to chase.

It's interesting that out of the first sixteen responses no one has mentioned the supposed post-war Holy Grail, 1952 Topps.

It would be hard for me to choose just one set but if I were pressed I'd probably have to go with 1953 Topps. I'd also give props to Topps for the 1958, '59, '60, '62, '63 and '71 designs as well.

UPdate:

1954, 55, 56 - 3 each
1953, 57 - 2 each
1959 and 1967 - 1 each

Ignoring those of you that can't make a decision on a single issue. Come'on take a stand.

If I had to choose one of my two, it would be '56.

I hope that counts now.

1959 Bazooka

favorite "mainstream" set 1960

Runner Ups

1978- Love the backs with the game on them

1959- I really like this set, but the Campanella card I find to be depressing/prevents me from wanting to collect the set.

I'd have to go with 1956, 1952, and 1954. I'm sorry, but whoever is naming anything in the 1980's is just wrong!

Funny...I was discussing this with a collecting friend recently...and I think almost all of the topps issues up to the mid 70's were pretty damn cool...esp compared to the lack of imagination and creativity of the last 20-30 yrs.

Tough to pick a favorite...but I've always been partial to the oversized 50's issues...as I had hardly any of them as a kid!!!!
