I seem to like cards with the bold, bright backgrounds. My favourite set of all time is 1964-65 Topps hockey, which has similar brightly coloured backgrounds. Having said that, I can also appreciate lots of other designs and might make a simple, clean set like 1953 Bowman my next project.
There's not much I actively dislike except for wood grain borders. |

It's fun to read this thread and see how other people go about collecting. I'm definitely a set builder. As a kid I completed every Topps set going back to 1968 and had maybe a couple hundred cards each year going back through 1957. (In the pre-Internet days of the late 1970s I'd go to card shows with sheets of notebook paper listing the cards I needed for each year; sometimes I'd buy from Kit Young or others who advertised in Sporting News and other publications.) When I resumed collecting about 10 years ago I started by completing 1967, which took me several months. I've finished about one set a year; 1960-66, also 1956 and 1957. Now I'm contemplating 1958 and 1959. I haven't decided which to go after; I definitely prefer choosing one year at a time and being laser-focused. I try to get cards in decent condition but I'm not a fanatic and rarely buy graded cards.

If you like bright colors, the 1963 Topps set is nice. |

George-- you are building quite an impressive run
Sending-- if given a choice between wood grain borders or color TVs, which do you pick ? |

I guess I'd have to pick the TV designs, though they seem to always have wood grain borders don't they! ;-)
