Favorites in order:

'71

'70

Least favorite

'59

IMO Topps best runs were '54-56 and '65-67, their worst '57-62.
'57 has a good design but the photography is so muddy, a problem that plagues the '61 set as well. The photography is '73 is just bad- bad lighting, bad composition, bad everything. Reggie Jackson's card is a prime example.

My favorites: 1980, 1971, 1956, 1974. I don't know why, I've always loved the '80 set.

Least favorite: probably 1962. Ugh.

Seems to be a lot of hate for the 1973 set. I actually kinda like it. I really like the Clemente, for sentimental reasons.

Thanks Stache...I agree, I really like the 73s. Action shots, clear clean cards...


Favorite 50's sets - 54 & 57 & 59
Least Favorite 50's set - 58

Favorite 60's sets - 65 & 66 & 69
Least Favorite 60's set - 62

Favorite 70's sets - 70 & 73 & 76
Least Favorite 70's set - 72


Of all the sets I think 57 Topps is my favorite, they just have that CLASSIC look of an era I long to be part of. The worse set by far is 72's, I just can't stand them. I am almost done with the set and the reason it's taking so long is it's really hard to spend a dime on them. It is also one of the hardest to put together...ugly high series cards, trophy cards in the high series (really, trophy cards??), and for every start you have a dang In Action to get as well. And those In Actions shots are terrible...Aaron jogging? Clemente whining? ANYTHING after 1980 is garbage, even though I do own 81-90, and I have no idea why. Really, no idea.
