1971. Year of my birth, good mix of action and posed shots, not into the extra throwin cards yet of the next few years (ie when they were kids etc), photo on the back.
Some nice sets in the 70's but this one is tops for me. Drew

'71 topps has always been my favorite set of the '70's.The Ryan and Munson cards in that set are 2 of my favorite card.

For a variety of reasons I have always liked the 1972 Topps set way above all the other sets of the 70,s. Being a Mets fan I really like the IA cards but to this day always wondered why 2 of the better teams with plenty of Hofers the Cardinals with Torre, Gibson, Brock and the Orioles with the Robinsons, Palmer did not have any IA cards. Even the Royals, Phillies and Padres who were bad teams without stars had some IA cards.

The 77 design is best for me. This is a little tougher than other decades, because I like the 76 set almost equally.
I like the team name across the top and this set has a decent number of action shots. The AS banners add to the cards, as do the trophies. I also like that it has some (but not too many) playoff cards and the TBC subset and continues the multiplayer rookie cards, which I have always liked as well. The Garvey card is still probably my favorite of his cards as well as the set itself and others like Staub, Seaver, Tanana, Fidrych and Rose are just cool cards.

1975
Since you asked about the best of the '70, I'll go with 1975 "today". If you ask me tomorrow it may be the 1971 set since I go back and forth on which I like better. Also, again, I like them all, but these are my favs from the '70's.
Donne...it's got 1975 in italics?!?

For me, '71 is a nightmare due to its black borders, and anything beyond 1973 belongs in a separate category because of its lack of series distribution, so I am happily hitting the '72 button...
