Overrated: 1953 Topps. I know the artwork on this set is beautiful, but it has never appealed to me. In some ways, the artwork is what turns me off. I wasn't born in 1953, but when I view this set through a kid's eyes, I just don't get the appeal. If I was a kid in 1953, I would have chosen Bowmans all day over Topps.
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.
