My favorites are the 1955 Topps, I have a starter set of them that began in the dumbest way possible.
Years ago I bought a 1956 Topps Jackie Robinson when I was getting cards from the 50-60's of certain players(55 Bowman Mays, 53 Paige, Killebrew rookie, 57 Campanella etc). Anywho, I decided to collect a set from the 50's, so without going back and looking, I said I really like that 55 Robinson I have so I'm going to collect that set...Had about 40 cards before I actually looked for the Robinson, found it and saw my mistake.
That story being said to appease the vintage masses, I honestly like the 1987 Topps set better than any others. It is what I collected the most as a kid, love the design and the selection of players, especially the young players included at the time.
