I'm biased, but 1887 is a strong contender . . .
Cigarette pack inserts skyrocket as the industry transitions from paper packs to cardboard slide & shell. Practically every subject matter would follow including baseball. 1887 Greatness Old Judge, Gypsy Queen, Buchner Gold Coin, K-Bats (players & team cards), Four Base Hits, as well as the first baseball currency issues. 1888 - Strong Follow-up A&G Champions, Goodwin Champions, Kimball Champions, Yum Yums, four different SF Hess baseball issues, OJs (both cigarette cards & cabinets), more currency, and the first gum issues courtesy G&B and HD Smith (Y95 Scrapps).
