How about the best set of the 1960's.........

[theseeker]

As a follow up to the thread covering the best set of the seventies, I'd like to hear some opinions on personal favorites from the '60's. I'll start it off with my picks. Although IM(not so)HO you can't go wrong with any of the sets from the sixties, 1967 is numero uno for me. I love the clean, classic design. Next would be the least popular set for collectors from the decade, the 1966 set for much the same reason that I like the 1967 set.Finishing third for me is the 1968 set. Similar to Bulldogs, I somehow find it ugly, yet appealing.

First for me would be the start of the decade 1960. Love the horizontal design and really want to start this set. Next for me is close between 1963 and 1965 and then 1968.

1965 by a wide margin. Followed by 1969 which I always thought was awsome in design and as a transitional year. Beautiful old guard cards: Last Mantle, very nice Mays Aaron, Clemente, FRob, Killer, Banks, McCovey, nicest Gibson card ever and the new guard of young guys Jackson, Seaver, Carew, Ryan, Bench, Sutton, Fingers. Simple design with the colorful dots and the cool pink reverse.

Actually I think the 60's were a magnificent decade for the company. My 2 least favorite sets being 66 and 68, both of which were still nice looking.

I generally like them all, but 67 is my personal favorite

IMO, the 1963 set is the best. All you need to do is look at the Mantle and Maris cards.

1967

1965 by long shot............then 1962 and 1961 for me

I'm working on several sets from the 60's.
I need less than a hundred cards for each - '60, '61, '63, '64, and '67

My favorite is 1963. Then 1960, 1967, 1961, 1966, 1965 and then '62.
Of the Topps sets 1951-1980, my least favorite set is '68.
As many cards as I have, I have less than a dozen from '68.
Also, not a huge fan on 1969
