T3 for me - I'd love to own one someday.

Did anyone ever take a stab at rendering the '53 Bowman Color Reese in a T3 format? I think that'd be so stinkin' cool.

I think the '53 Bowman Reese was already a stab at T3. General consensus is that it's a 1941 B&W spring training photograph that was colorized. There's a couple of threads here on the forum that talk about it. I'd try to search them out for you but I stink at that stuff.

Default I don't see the N162 set on this list ? ?
Why are the 1955 BOWMAN or 1959 TOPPS sets on this list ? Regarding post-WWII sets....why isn't the 1953 BOWMAN set listed in this Poll ?

Anyhow, when one judges a set by it's looks, it doesn't get any better than this............

1888 GOODWIN CHAMPIONS (N162) set............

Hands down the finest looking 19th century set. Maybe the best overall.

Yeah, '59 Topps isn't even the nicest set of 1959 (I give the edge to Bazooka), let alone of all time.

I know it's not perfectly on topic, but here are my favorites, by decade:
10's: T3
20's: 1921 Exhibit
30's: 1933 Goudey
40's: 1941 Play Ball
50's: 1953 Bowman
60's: 1965 Topps
70's: 1975 Topps
80's: 1984 Fleer
After the 80's is where my eyes glaze over.
