1958! The color backgrounds often have a dirty look even when in good shape.

+1 Lousy card stock. Makes me think these were the forerunners to the Vennies. Far too many head shots. Unimaginative pics, but one is a classic: Red Wilson's boob shot.

Lots of hate towards 58. It's actually my favorite. There isn't a real clunker in the 50's in my opinion, but I voted 57 as it seems quite bland to me.

I was torn between 1958 and 1959 in my choice and chose 1959 because of the very small photos. Good to see that 1958 has more votes than 1952-57 combined

My late father's birth year, mainly. But I also love the color, the All-Star subset, the World Series Batting Foes, and some of the portraits are amazing (Aaron, Mathews, etc.). Yeah the Mantle is crud, but he what ?? three decent looking Topps issues? Anyways, it could be 490 closeup shots of Wally Moon's eye brows and it would still be special...

57 is bland in comparison IMO and many of the cards have writing that's hard to read. Stunned at the opinions of 59 they are perfect in the eyes of this beholder

I voted for the 1958 set, although it is the 2nd 50's set I completed.

I will say that I used to love the 1957 set and I now view it as the 2nd worst of the 50's. Photos are bad, design is simple but I have noticed that I can't read the words on the front on a bunch of cards. They could have done better.

IMHO of course...

I liked ALL of them! Every set has its bad cards, but, overall, they were really appealing - to me anyway. For every bad card, there were several really good ones.

With all the technical improvements, this years Topps base set design is inferior to any of those prior to 1986 (which was a bad product).

59 for me, not a big fan.
