Underrated: 1974 Topps. Admittedly, this is the first year I collected so I am a little biased. However, I truly think this set is underrated because of the great action shots. Again, looking at this set again as an 8-year-old, I absolutely loved the action shots. I would argue that the Ryan, Reggie, and Seaver cards are some of the best action shots ever.
Favorite: 1975: Pure 70's
Least Favorite: Take your pick of any of the 60's sets that included the "no cap" poses. Totally boring to me.

I completely agree with you on 1974. There are so many great action shots in this set, Pete Rose, Jim Palmer, Carlton Fisk, Nolan Ryan come to mind. 1974 was the first year I collected too.
