The 1960s are incredibly bland. Small photos and awkward horizontal design. With exception to Yaz, the rookie class is very weak.

I went with 1962. The wood grain borders just seem incredibly tacky to me, even for the sixties. The 1965 and 1966 sets were right on its heels, though. Those two designs just seemed very bland and uninspired.

1960 or 1968! I went with 60, just dont like the little B&W photo or the multi colored name lettering. '68 was saved by the backs as I like the full stats.

The Burlap is kinda ugly, but there are still worse sets than that one. And the double player cards with Ryan and Bench's rookie cards are kind of cool.

Funny, the multi-colored name lettering is one feature that really draws me to this set

Jason---then the 1960 Antonelli with the uneven colored letters must sing to you

I agree - I love the multi-color lettering on the 60s (I also love the 57s that have the colorful blue/red letters for name/team). At the same time, I agree that the 60 horizontal two-picture format can be distracting, and the number of players without caps bothers me (e.g., Maris, Koufax)

To me though every set has some clunkers and some winners, which is why no matter which set through the 50s-70s, there are always cards I love in each
