I would go with N172. First, it is Big (I think it is the biggest set not counting back variations?). Second, it adds an era not already covered. Third, while not the first set, it is the first set to attempt to include most (if not every) player.

I'd second the N172's for all the reasons mentioned.

Yep, perfect choice for all the reasons specified! Can we just all agree on this and lock the thread?

Yeah, I was gonna make a joke about those Topps disembodied heads, but how can an argument be made against OJs?

N172 cards are truly amazing and historic little photos. I only have 10 of them, but I love them, and would most certainly love to have more!

+1 for all the mentioned above reasons.

Perfect choice for the N172.

Honorable mention for me would be the T3 set.

I say 1914 Cracker Jack, but really argue against N172

I also think E107 and T3 are up there. I am totally a prewar guy, but I also think 1951 Bowman, 1953 Bowman, and 1975 Topps are pretty awesome.

1986 Fleer Basketball is pretty mighty as well

The only argument that comes to my mind:

What is the likelihood one can ever actually complete a set?

Other than this, I agree; it's a rock-solid choice.
