The OP asked what is the most widely collected/loved/iconic set of all time.
I think that requires three separate answers:
Widely collected: 1989 Upper Deck (or some other late 80s set already mentioned)
Loved: t206 (or 33 Goudey)
Iconic: 52 Topps or 51 Bowman
Even though I much prefer vintage, the only set listed above that I have more than a handful of cards from is 1989 Upper Deck. So affordability and availability definitely lends itself to being ‘widely collected’.
