I was just thinking about this subject this week, trying to narrow down some sets by decade I may try to put together this coming year. *s are by those I won't be putting together but like the design.
1920s: W560 two-colors, because I have a couple. 1930s: Gold Medal Foods, my two favorite teams in a small affordable set. 1940s: *1948-49 Leaf graphically striking 1950s: I like checklist of the 1952 Red Man, but I like the post-52 design. 1960s: 1964 (and 62) Auravision, cool photos, and its a record! 1970s: 1978, birth year and hosts many '84 Tigers' RCs. 1980s: 1984 Fleer, my first baseball cards. I like the 1980 Topps design. |
