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

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...20ATAS%201.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...20ATAS%202.jpg 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). |
Oh man I spent many an hour staring at those 75 mvp card when I was a kid.

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.

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.

Great thread, Rats those '59's are insane! George, I love the '61 all star set as well & the '75 MVPs. Here are a few more I really like '60 all star is one of my favorites.

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.
