Agreed. Best looking set, and you should remove the '55 Bowman ( TV Set ) and replace it with the '53 Bowman.

+1. The best example of how simplicity can be beautiful. No typography whatsoever to distract you...just gorgeous color photographs of players from baseball's golden age. Old-time uniforms, stadiums long gone. It doesn't get any better than this.

I think the T3's are gorgeous and are my pick for the best-looking card set. Other personal favorites include the N43 issue, T205, Cracker Jacks, 1933 DeLongs, and the Diamond Stars. Post-war favorite is 1957 Topps.

I'm with Jerry. I think the cards in the N162 set are the most beautiful of all time. I have seen some high grade copies where the image almost appears three dimensional. This is 19th century lithography at its best.

My favorite set is the T209 B&W cards, the outdoor poses only really. That is amazing for me to say when you consider I have zero of them and have always liked them. They are like Cal Lg OJ cards for the middle class

Personally I love black and white cards and the 1920's E121 are my favorites. Kind of like the Amsel Adams of baseball cards with their iconic images.

I don't know what's more disturbing. Cracker Jack being misspelled or the inclusion of 1955 Bowman.

Picking the best looking set is like picking my favorite song. What it is today, it won't be tomorrow.

Today my vote is 1956 Topps, with 1953 Bowman on its rear.

I think we can all agree that while we have preferences, pretty much all the sets being listed are incredible. They have the charm that modern cards will never achieve (and this coming from a guy that's been a modern card collector for three years).

It's hard to narrow it down. I like T202s for the mix of color and black & white, plus information on the backs. A special mention for N300s and N162s.

Agreed that the Reese is visually stunning, especially in hand. Having said this, I would love to see this image, framed within a T3 border, and rendered in the turn-of-the-century color lithography treatment of a photograph many of us enjoy.

Do I subtly ask too much of the Photoshop experts on our board?

Best Regards,

Eric

1953 Bowman Color. The photography is simply beautiful. The uniforms, the backdrop of the old stadiums...amazing. And no obtrusive logos, or typography whatsoever.

Of the ones listed, I love the T206 set.

T3 by a wide margin....

Also im surprised that t206 got more votes than T205

Last poll between just those 2 had T205's as the better looking card.
