For me, it's 1972 with nothing else even a close second. This topic has been covered a thousand times, but I'll reiterate what does it for me. 1972 was the first year my older brothers took me along for their walks to the stationery store to buy cards. That sense of nostalgia will never go away. But beyond that, the huge variety of cool action shots (yes, yes, we know they missed a lot of key players), the tremendous number of Mets in the set (with those great red borders!), the tough high numbers and the 'Traded' set make this set a beautiful thing forever!!!
