1. Cracker Jacks
2. t206
3. 1952 Topps
4. '33 goudeys
5. N172's
6. e90
7. T3's
8. 1949 Bowman
9. 1940 Play Ball
10. N300

I collect eras, so here's where Im at. When I think of "classic sets" I think of larger sets that represent the era typically excluding n28s, 38 goudeys, etc. When I did a T3 thread it lasted for a awhile leading me to believe there are quite a few t3 collectors out there and the cards simply are stunning with arguably the best backgrounds on any card ever made.

I used to love t206's but everyone talks about them to the point where just hearing about a "Rare back" annoys the heck out of me.

That being said, when you think "classic baseball sets" I don't understand how you could not have them on a top 10 list (even a top 5).

Now if we were talking about visually appealing, there are way more sets out there that look better than t206's.

Default Fun task

I'm changing the rules: first, prewar only; second, a dozen of the classic sets that I believe best reflect the broadness of the hobby: (all are true sets, with 100 or more cards counting variations)
1. N172
2. E107
3. T206
4. E90-1
5. T202
6. T212-2
7. E254
8. E145-2
9. M101-4/5
10. W514
11. 1925-31 PC Exhibits
12. R319

Really hate leaving out T204, but the 1909-1912 era is already over-represented. Honorable mention to R318 for the diecut, although the tints are covered in the Exhibits.
