Hard to argue with your first choice. I lean towards the 1967 issue myself.

And, my second is the 1975 Topps, Brewers one, for sentimental reasons as well. It was the first year I collected cards. I pulled one from a pack at the end of my street back in the midwest and proceeded to trade it right away for a Dick Allen, who was my favorite player at the time for the White Sox. Though it was not his last card it was neat to turn the card over and look at all the years of stats on the card.
