56 is an easy answer but I just love that set. I put it together card by card. 342 is the perfect number. Not too big like the 572-726 card behemoths but not too small. 10% HOFers. Last Feller card. Good mix of legends and upstarts. Great poses. Arguably the best Clemente and Mantle cards. It was the first year after the Bowman buyout so finally all the best from both set. The last of the oversized cards. Team cards for the first time.
I spent a year and a half on this set and I feel like I have every card memorized. I have sets that are more valuable but none that I love quite like ‘56
