			Seriously, I thought the 1983 was a very good effort.  By decade: 1956 1961, but only if they are clean 1977 1983 |

			It's interesting that out of the first sixteen responses no one has mentioned the supposed post-war Holy Grail, 1952 Topps. It would be hard for me to choose just one set but if I were pressed I'd probably have to go with 1953 Topps. I'd also give props to Topps for the 1958, '59, '60, '62, '63 and '71 designs as well. |

			1959 Bazooka favorite "mainstream" set 1960 Runner Ups 1978- Love the backs with the game on them 1959- I really like this set, but the Campanella card I find to be depressing/prevents me from wanting to collect the set. |

			Funny...I was discussing this with a collecting friend recently...and I think almost all of the topps issues up to the mid 70's were pretty damn cool...esp compared to the lack of imagination and creativity of the last 20-30 yrs. Tough to pick a favorite...but I've always been partial to the oversized 50's issues...as I had hardly any of them as a kid!!!! |
