1965. Many of the best HOF'er cards of 60's (Mantle, Aaron, Mays, Gibson). The banners/color combos are great.

You nailed it. There is something very truly appealing about the look and colors of the 1965 set. I'm sure it was a dream come true to the autograph collectors of the time, too. Beautiful pictures to get signed. This is probably my favorite set of the pre-action shots era.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Another vote for the 65 set. I had a more difficult time with the 50s set but not 60s.

'67 for purity of design and photography

I do think the '65-'67 sets are the best three year run in Topps history

1967 here as well.

I had a feeling it was going to be a match race between 1965 and 1967.

Also, as for the worst, have to agree with 1961, but what about 1964 as well?

I wonder if all would agree 1961 is the worst!

I'm going with 1963. I like the inset photos and its a colorful set. The Photos are higher quality and the quality of paper is really good.

After that I go with 1960 and then 1967.

I went with the 1963 set as well. 1969 has to be my least favorite.
