I’d have to go, probably in order (though a few might change positions):

1953 Bowman Color. No type, no nothing but glorious full color photography of golden era players on those glorious wool blend uniforms and those iconic old ballparks. Tough to get well centered, but they present beautifully.

1960 Topps. I love the horizontal presentation, and the beautiful full color pictures making up the majority of the front. Some odd my favorite cards come from this set.

1975 Topps. Great selection of rookies and Hall of Famers, and the colors make for spectacular cards.

1957 Topps. I’m working on this one, slowly, in mid grade. What a set!!!!!!

1953 Topps. Those hand drawn portraits are just glorious. 1953 is the greatest year on vintage, hands down. Two iconic sets.

1980 Topps. I’ve always loved the design, and the A.L. and N.L. All Star banners at the top were cool. The Rickey card is an all-time favorite.

1971 Topps. They’re so condition sensitive with the black borders showing even the most minor chipping, but what a set! The Thurman Munson first solo card will be mine. The ‘71 Topps Clemente is one of my favorite cards on my collection.

1954 Bowman. This set is really growing on me. I’m going to add a nice Mickey Mantle ‘54 Bowman if it kills me.
