A Twist: what Topps card BACK is your favorite

1970 for sure.

By decade, my favorites are:

1955 Topps: Bright stock, good illustrations, nice design, and one of the only years until 1992 to use more than two ink colors.

1963 Topps: Bright stock, light ink color and solid design

1970 Topps: Bright stock, great color choices and another solid layout

1980 Topps: Most of the '80s backs are pretty much the same basic format, so the first of the decade gets the nod. Also, the blue ink gives decent contrast on the gray stock

I prefer the blue of the 1965 backs over the 63s. I agree with your other 3 choices.

1951 Red Back...I like to be a non-conformist

Easy question for an old collector.
The backs of the 1956 Topps by a wide margin.
Back in 56 when I collected them any boy knew what was on the backs better than the picture on the front. Lots of info in the cartoon captions.

One of my favs are the 1971 O Pee Chee backs. I really need to finish this set.

My single favorite back from all of Topps' issues is the 1954 Ted Williams #250. All cartoons...
