Favorite Post-War Set
My favorite post-war set is the 1978 Family Fun Centers San Diego Padres set. 39 postcard-sized cards with wood grain fronts. HOFers, a hamburger tycoon and the rookie issue of some guy named Ozzie.

I'm mostly a post-war guy, so I have a hard time naming just one. Today my top five would be (without using the word 'iconic'):
1. 1956 Topps - love the design and the artwork. Mickey, Feller, Jackie, Willie, Duke, Sandy, Ted, Roberto, Hank, Yogi. Just a beautiful set. 2. 1957 Topps - classic, clear photos, many with ballpark backgrounds. The Dodgers' Sluggers and Carl Furillo cards are nonpareil. 3. 1964 Topps Giants - cheap and small set, but wonderful photographs. Working towards an autographed set. 4. 1965 Topps - crystal clear and colorful photos, and pennants to boot. 5. 1971 Topps - for the reasons mentioned above - the black borders and the introduction of action photography. Who doesn't love Thurm's card?

A few, and the list might vary from day to day.
Most of the cards from my kid collecting years, say 74-80. the 78 Papa Ginos discs. Hostess, all years. Pretty much all the other discs. 49 Leaf. One I doubt anyone else will pick, 1950 drakes. The 71 Topps of the 1950's. Maybe too modern, but sets with weirdness of complexity 91 Topps 88 Score Anything by Signature Rookies Or Wild card. The Gypsy Queen framed cards, especially the 2014 ones with the white frame.

I have an affinity for ‘81 Topps. My first year collecting wax packs that I remember. I have some ‘79s and more ‘80 Topps, but ‘81 was peak! I think by 1985 or ‘86 I was done buying packs and just focused on buying older cards.
1981 Topps 1950 Bowman 1955 Bowman 1962 Topps

I agree with 1956 Topps. Best blend of art and photos, plus all the classic stars.
