I certainly like the 1971 set, but I'd have to go with the first one I'm building from the 70s. The 1975 set has the best collection of rookies, starting off with four Hall of Famers: Robin Yount, George Brett, Jim Rice and Gary Carter. Also included is another player I think will get into Cooperstown one day, Keith Hernandez, as well as the rookie of Red Sox slugger Fred Lynn. There are a lot of great future Hall of Famers making one of their final appearances, from Hank Aaron, Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Harmon Killebrew, and Frank Robinson, to those with a great future ahead of them, like Dave Winfield and Nolan Ryan, who were just starting out their careers.
The set is quite colorful, too. If you take the time to build a clean set clear of any major imperfections, you'll have a show piece.
