1968 Topps
I've heard (or read) many collectors' opinions regarding the "burlap" borders and why they think they're hideously ugly. More than a few people have also shared their negative opinions regarding the photos used by Topps that year.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, sure. However, the player selection is absolutely tremendous. From the immortal Mickey Mantle to the ageless Nolan Ryan, from the incomparable Hank Aaron to the amazing Willie Mays; you'll find some of the greatest players ever to step onto a Major League Baseball field.
Roberto Clemente, Tom Seaver, Johnny Bench...the list goes on and on.
Don't like the burlap borders? Think the photos fall flat? Cool, pass on 1968 Topps. It'll make it easier (read, cheaper) for me to pick them up.
