I agree with those who say 1953 was the worst of all Topps sets. The design actually isn't bad, but a lack of action poses, bad artwork and borders that bleed color and chip easily make this set a clunker.

'67 Mantle is without a doubt the single worst Mantle card ever. I used to practically throw them in the garbage as a kid.

The only standard size card that was produced horizontally, the pictures are small and boring, the ugly black and white second cut-out photo, the ugly gold color on the back, the lack of full career statistics, coaches cards (really?) - there is just really not much to like about 1960 to me.

58 shouldn't even be part of the discussion. It's a great set, with a "Cracker Jack" feel to it. There are better sets for sure but the 58 is no where near the worst set.
Now, the 68 burlap sack border cards, yeah, that's bad. Or the 1970 recycled newspaper borders, also pretty bad. Someone mentioned the 73 set. It's so bad it's good. Check out Luis Alvarado playing a pick up game on a grade school field. |
