1960 Topps
1965 Topps 1974 Topps 1975 Topps 1959 Topps Honorable mentions to '56 (artful) and '71. Believe it or not, I find the 74s the most aesthetically pleasing of the 1970s cards. I like how the border colors are made to coordinate with the uniforms of the teams represented. Very nice. The downside, of course, is the lack of rookies and high dollar cards in the set. That doesn't matter to me, but I understand that it does for most. I used to consider my taste for the '75s a guilty pleasure, until I discovered (to my shock) that lots of people love the set. Maybe its the rookie selection? I should add that 1974 was the year I started collecting, so '74 and '75 have that advantage, as well. It's interesting to see the variety on here. I think '65 may have been mentioned the most? |

Of all the years that I grew up buying, 74 and 75 were the two years I had the most dupes of. I ended up putting together a master set of 74's with all the variations and a printers proof run of a single player.
75's were the same way but no master set to mess with there. Enjoy! Last edited by butchie_t; 04-15-2021 at 03:56 PM. |

But I think it is a very stately set. In my opinion, it has a regal quality to it. The design is really a classic in my opinion. The names written in cursive on the gray border. I think the pictures, which have sometimes a somber quality to them are what don't really grab people. But there were some really nice cards in the set, for instance, the Reggie Jackson card. Willie McCovey's card and Gil Hodges', I think are great cards amongst others. The playoff cards are nice and they reprised the style of the 1961 All-Star cards for the All-Star series. One thing though, that I think is really nice about the cards, are those blue, yellow, and white backs. That design, in my opinion, was one of Topps' best. |

I love the Sporting News all star cards in the 70 set. Since I was a kid, I've thought those were really cool. I have a couple, but I should really collect the set of those.
Edit: Yeah, I know they're just like the 61 set, but that doesn't make them any less cool looking. Hahaha Last edited by profholt82; 04-23-2021 at 02:53 PM. |
