Topps Allen & Ginter is the best modern "vintage" set in my opinion. They seem to have gotten the vintage "look" pretty close to the originals. The other sets fall short, some pretty far short.
Unfortunately though, other than the 2006 set, there aren't many retired players in the A&G sets, but they have included several Negro Leaguers the past few years. All living I think, so they can do auto's also.
The UD Masterpieces set was also very good and included many retired players. Unfortunately, they discontinued the product. Some great looking cards in that set though.
I wish they'd do an A&G HOF set, now that would be awsome.
