I always assumed "Postwar Years" meant 1947 through 1980, so the hideous 1982 and 1986 sets shouldn't count.
I think that 1976 is one of the nicer sets in terms of design and photography. It gets no love because of the lack of decent rookie cards. Conversely, 1975 is pretty ugly with terrible photography (check to see how many shadows cover players' faces - Seaver, Palmer to name two) but everyone loves '75 because of the great RC's included. For my 2 cents the ugliest postwar sets are 1959, 1968, 1974, 1975, 1979 and 1980.
