58 and 59 Topps are at the top of my list. This isn't based on aesthetics as much as nostalgia. One day a girl in my Long Island neighborhood showed up on our front steps with a handful of '58 cards. To this day I remember being blown away with the idea of ballplayers on colorful cardboard.
I got my first packs of cards ('59 first series) in my basket the next Easter and a lifelong hobby was born.
