Vote: Favorite Topps Set ! 1956, 1965, 1971
Over the past few weeks we have voted for our favorite Topps sets from each decade. The winners 1956, 1965 and 1971 will now square off to get us a very unscientific overall winner. The sets should be your favorite for whatever reason you determine, obviously the 1952 Topps is the most expensive but based on the voters own criteria it lost out to the 1956 set.

Out of those 3, I chose 56. By decade my vote would have been 53, 60, and 75.

All great sets but between the three 56 has got too much going for it. Classic 50's look, all the great stars with overlap of legends careers (Campy, Jackie R., Feller, Williams still in and Koufax, Clemente, Aaron, Banks just starting).
Also 10% of cards are HOFers. Only down side in no Musial. Once the tally is done on this one we should do the same thing except the most ugly set from each decade then go head to head to see how far 1968, I mean, which ever set is looked upon the least by collectors. Drew

Trivia - Re Poll
Name the 2 guys that were in all 3 sets (1956, 1965, 1971), each with a different team (there might be more than 2 but through exhaustive research, I found only 2 guys). Name them.

Interesting Trivia Part II
This one is pretty cool. See if you can figure out the guy that was in both 1956 and 1971 - both sets as a player (not manager)... but wasn't in the 1965 Topps set.

Just viewed the virtual '56 Gallery and saw his card. I knew he had a 1971 card--I liked his '70 and '71 cards-- so I had my answer.
Actually though I did this yesterday when searching for additional guys responsive to your question about the 56/65/71 sets. I was surprised and did not remember that Hall had no card in the 1965 Topps set, as I knew he had cards both before and after. He should have been included, coming off a 9-1 season with several saves and a sub-2.00 ERA. Was also surprised that Al Dark missed the 1965 set, as he was all around it and in both '56 and '71 sets. I did not know he had been fired after 1964's 90-72 season because of what were wrongfully perceived as racist remarks about his players.
