The Greiling cards, especially the larger sized issues are full of international stars (probably the first in the world to do so in a large scale - no less than 18 countries! )
As for modern sets, I really like the 1959 A&BC set for its bright colors and action poses. Equal to it in color, but a different style, are the 1960 Chix portrait and action set.
Lastly, the 1920c Amatlier Spanish issue set has an artistic style that's classic beyond beauty.
Honorable mentions to VAV sets from Italy and Dolar from Argentina.

Cannot argue with your analysis here... I wish the Greiling cards were all in color.. but the two sizes make them fun and there are a number of SSP which also makes the hunt complicated and fun. I love the C.1920 Amatlier Spanish issues of Zamora/Alcantara/Samitier (the artistic rendition and the "real" photo) are probably some of the most beautiful cards ever made.
