The 1959 Baseball Thrills is my favorite. As you can tell, I had to get them all signed in person at shows.

I have such vivid memories of collecting these two subsets as a kid. The ATAS especially, since 1976 was the year that baseball and baseball cards really gripped me.

Also love the 74 Aaron subset but always partial to the 75s.

In fact, the first thing I did when I starting collecting again was to get all the player cards from 1951-1974 depicted in the 75 mvp series (a few, like a couple of the Campanellas and the 1962 Wills don't exist).

The 1961 All Star cards were beautiful (and copied for the 1970 All Star subset) and so hard to find. I started collecting as a kid in the 1970s and was able to amass some 1961 cards and other old stuff, but I don't think I actually saw one of these high-number All Star cards until I was an adult in the 1980s. Then it took another 25 or 30 years to acquire them all and complete my set.

Can’t stop looking at these with the perfect blue ink signatures.

I always loved the World Series subsets. (Why didn't they make one in 1966?) As a Pirates fan, I savored the ones depicting the 1960 and 1971 Series. But for pure design, I love the faux wood-grain TV style used in 1967 to chronicle the 1966 Series. The Game 4 card captures Brooks Robinson getting more air than at any other time in his career.

It had to be disappointing for a kid in 1960 to rip open a pack and come across one of these cards with the disembodied heads of three or four old guys. But the coaches subset (numbers 455-470) has some significant historic figures you want find anywhere else on a Topps card. The Cubs card, for instance, includes Charlie Root -- who gave up Babe Ruth's alleged "called shot" HR in the 1932 World Series and was the last person born in the 19th century to pitch in a major league game.
