favorite soccet sets
I would include the 1938 Konig set as well, but I have to say the 1928 Gartmann's Chokolate cards are some of the finest looking cards I've seen.
The Greiling cards, especially the larger sized issues are full of international stars (probably the first in the world to do so in a large scale - no less than 18 countries! )
As for modern sets, I really like the 1959 A&BC set for its bright colors and action poses. Equal to it in color, but a different style, are the 1960 Chix portrait and action set.
Lastly, the 1920c Amatlier Spanish issue set has an artistic style that's classic beyond beauty.
Honorable mentions to VAV sets from Italy and Dolar from Argentina.
