Most Iconic Modern Set

[pokerplyr80]

Well I am watching the homerun derby right now, and earlier they briefly showed a kid in the stands wearing a t shirt with a large image of the 89 UD Griffey on it. It seemed like the consensus set any way, but I doubt many kids are wearing shirts of cards from any of the other sets mentioned in this thread.

I'm not sure I'm totally qualified to answer as I didn't buy a single pack of cards from 1992 to 2017...so I have zero experience with a majority of "modern".

That said...I'm like a lot of others...not in order-

89 UD
90 Leaf
84 Donruss

I do disagree with the comment 84 Donruss didn't hold up. I looked thru my binder the other day and was impressed with the crisp photography and excellent design. The fact I was 14 when it came out and was the only kid in town with a set may also still be influencing me...but I still really enjoy that set. I'll never forget the fever pitch on UD and Leaf...strange to think of how many of us went to 100mph to zip in such a hurry...by 91 I was done...
