Not sure who else followed this, if anyone, but over the past week Trading Card Database has been tweeting the top sets of all time as voted on by their users.
Coming out on top is the 1965 Topps set. Nice enough set, doesn't move the needle for me. There were a nice mix of modern and vintage, and a lot of my favorites finished high on the final list. As is always the case, there were a few notable surprises: 1933 Goudey at 7th, T206 at 8th, and 1952 Topps at 9th. Cracker Jacks not on the list at all!
I always enjoy a good debate, but in my (biased) opinion, the voters really whiffed when it comes to pre-war vintage.
