1953
1953 bowman is a way more iconic set than 1954 bowman.

1. Cracker Jacks
2. t206 3. 1952 Topps 4. '33 goudeys 5. N172's 6. e90 7. T3's 8. 1949 Bowman 9. 1940 Play Ball 10. N300 I collect eras, so here's where Im at. When I think of "classic sets" I think of larger sets that represent the era typically excluding n28s, 38 goudeys, etc. When I did a T3 thread it lasted for a awhile leading me to believe there are quite a few t3 collectors out there and the cards simply are stunning with arguably the best backgrounds on any card ever made.

1. T206
2. 1933 Goudey 3. Old Judge N172 4. T3 5. 1953 Color Bowman 6. 1956 Topps 7. E90 8. T202 9. 1952 Topps 10. 1934-36 Diamond Stars T206, 33 Goudey and N172 are the best of the best. I like Topps' introduction (51's notwithstanding) in their mainstream sets. In my opinion T3 and 53 Color Bowmans are gorgeous. I like the T202's for the action shots. I include the 1952 Topps simply for the iconic status of #311. I also enjoy the Diamond Stars' artwork. Erik

Hard to pick 10:
1) 1952 Topps 2) T206 3) 1914/1915 Cracker Jack 4) 1933 Goudey 5) 1968 Topps (May be biased as it was my first ever complete set I ever finished and is my favorite set of all time.) 6) 1963 Topps 7) 1868 Peck and Synder (First ever set of baseball cards) 8) 1800s Old Judge Baseball Cards 9) 1903 Breisch-Williams Company (First MAJOR baseball card set of the 1900s) 10) 1978 Topps Honorable Mentions: 2001 Topps, Any 1986 Set (Started the mass-production of baseball cards which lasted from 1986 to 1992 making any card from that decade practically worthless.), 1991 Topps Desert Shield (Limited print set which was only available to the troops in Iraq), 1991 Topps Stadium Club, 2009 Topps (Starlin Castro RC), 1953 Bowman Color, ETC Last edited by UOFLfan7; 07-10-2012 at 10:44 PM.

 and the T202's action shots are an excellent feature of that set. I'm always suprised that T202's aren't more popular than they seem to be.Sincerely, Clayton

I used to love t206's but everyone talks about them to the point where just hearing about a "Rare back" annoys the heck out of me.
That being said, when you think "classic baseball sets" I don't understand how you could not have them on a top 10 list (even a top 5). Now if we were talking about visually appealing, there are way more sets out there that look better than t206's.

If by "classic" important is part of the equation, then N167 old judges have to be there. It was the first baseball card set in the common way we think of sets of cards - promotional pieces that came with purchase depicting players on the front and an advertisement for the item. It began the tobacco card craze which later expanded to candy, gum , and so forth. It really started it all. I am away from my computer or I would add scans. If anybody can add a scan, that would be great.

Fun task
I'm changing the rules: first, prewar only; second, a dozen of the classic sets that I believe best reflect the broadness of the hobby: (all are true sets, with 100 or more cards counting variations)
1. N172 2. E107 3. T206 4. E90-1 5. T202 6. T212-2 7. E254 8. E145-2 9. M101-4/5 10. W514 11. 1925-31 PC Exhibits 12. R319 Really hate leaving out T204, but the 1909-1912 era is already over-represented. Honorable mention to R318 for the diecut, although the tints are covered in the Exhibits.
