Wow, I can't for the life of me figure out why people like the 1970 set. Such a boring, poorly designed offering. Ick!!
1972 is my ultimate favorite, but don't forget about the 1974 set. That one has a ton of great action photos. A little too much white around the borders, but very well put together.

Order
From best to worst:
71: Black borders and a bunch of other reasons 75: Psychedelic borders and good star/rc selection 70: Dunno why but I like the gray borders, maybe cause no other Topps set like it? 73: Good action shots, lots of old stars and new ones 72: Not a huge fan of design but some cool stuff 74, 76-79: No high numbers (lacks "toughness" of completing a set, bland designs/borders, not many key rookies) Last edited by mintacular; 06-08-2013 at 11:04 PM.

The 1972 is by far my favorite. The '71 is excellent, too. The rest: meh. I know a lot of people like the '75, but it's too garish for my taste. The '72 is completely of it's time, but in a very tasteful way. A couple of cool ones from the set:

1973 seems to have better photography and a lot more game action shots than any other year. If you type: "197x baseball cards" into a google image search, it seems like most years feature tons of head or upper body shots. I'd much rather have good pictures than some fancy border...
