Overrated - 1954 Topps. They look like they are all miscut.
Underrated - 1964 Topps - Simple and east to sort by team. Least Favorite - 1975 Topps - Ugh! Favorite 1965 Topps edges out 1967 Topps - 1965 is what baseball cards should look like. Great design. Mike

Overrated – Any high grade issue in a PSA holder with gaps between the card and the inner rails.
Underrated – 1968 Topps – this set gets quite a bit of hate because of the borders. It has a great lineup, though, with cards such as: the Nolan Ryan rookie; Tom Seaver 2nd year; All-Star cards, League Leaders, player combos like Manager’s Dream; Mantle, Clemente, Aaron, Mays, etc. Least Favorite – 1963 Topps Pete Rose – Plenty for me not to like: this issue was heavily counterfeited early on, which led teenage me to avoid it like the plague; I don’t care for “floating head” cards; and Pete’s lifetime ban further soured me on this card. Favorite – 1956 Topps – tremendous player selection, large sized cards, horizontal orientation, multiple player images on front, cartoons on the back. I like every design element of this set.

Overrated – Any graded cards. Are you a card collector, or an investment broker?
Underrated – 1962 Topps. Folks are turned off by the wood paneled fronts and Halloween backs, weird occasional green tint, and out of focus photos. I seriously collected cards out of wax packs 1967 to 1972. Then someone bequeathed me a stack of 1962s. I thought and still think they were gorgeous. Least Favorite – 1952 and 1953 Topps, especially the WAY overrated 1952 and 1953 Mantle. I find the artwork cartoonish and hideous. I can't believe that rational thinking folks go totally ga-ga over these. Favorite – t205 and 1953 Bowman color. I think these are the two most beautiful cards of all-time, hands down. 1962 Topps is an honorable mention favorite as well.
