After all, every favorite set is preferred by those who like it best.

Hey Adam, I was 10 in 1976 and started collecting in 1977, first baseball and then football in the fall. So I've got an affinity for the 1977 and 1978 sets. I especially remember opening wax packs and getting excited when I saw an All-Star logo peaking through the stack of cards.
Personally, the '76-'78 sets for me are royalty. They filled up the biggest part of my collection for years and were the cards I carried around and traded with the kids in the 'hood. Not a lot of rookies - though in those days, that was not what we were chasing. We got excited for Ryan, Seaver, Bench, Rose, Garvey, Carew, Reggie, Yaz, Schmidt and Stargell. Those were the cards of my youth.
