Separately, I find '55 Bowman to be one of the ugliest sets of all time.. Just my opinion though.

How can anybody not love a card like this?
 I know the cards are treated photographs, but they are just beautiful. I'm torn between the T206 Johnson portrait, the '53 Bowman Color Stan Musial, and the '58 Topps Roberto Clemente as my choice for favorite all-time card.

 With a nod to the T3s...(which I agree are the most glorious looking set)... the proof is in the pudding: These sets are just awesome... something awesome about all of them (for instance... LOVE the Bowman 50-52... the 50s are like little paintings... the lack of any type on the front enhances the beauty even more... ) Row 1: The 1909-11 T206, 1911 T205, 1910-11 Turkey Red Cabinet Cards, 1912 T207, 1914 Cracker Jack, Row 2: 1933 Goudey, 1934 Goudey, 1935 Diamond Stars, 1941 Playball, Row 3: 1950 Bowman, 1951 Bowman, 1952 Bowman, Row 4: 1952 Topps, 1953 Bowman, 1953 Topps, 1954 Topps, 1956 Topps.

Pre-war- R309-1 Goudey Premiums (I especially like the Ruth- it's just a parger than life image which I think perfectly portrays the babe.
Post war- another vote for 1956 Topps

I'm going to go a little "outside the box" here. I know this is not a pre-war set, but I have a background in photography. There are cards that I collect strictly for the photo regardless of the player. For me, baseball card photography started to turn the corner with the 1973 Topps set. There a many cards in that set where the photographers got creative with the action shots:
