1965 Topps…..is next…..thanks……and finished!!!!!!!

1966 Topps set is done and it’s time to relax before I jump into the next fun build.

61 vs 65.

I’m thinking 61 would be harder but I like both sets.
I’m more leaning to 61 first….(love the design) and then 65 next, but I like the high number fun.

What’s everybody’s thoughts on the two?

I'm bias to '61 as it's my favorite design of the 60s.

61 is a clean design, but the photos are not as good. Seems like the peak of no cap really bad portraits with the expansion. Lots of very poor choices. Love the All-Star design. Highs are a lot more expensive.

65 is an easy set build and pretty cheap relatively to other Topps issues. Bang for buck is the 1965 to me.

65 is one of my favorite sets of the 60s. Great, bright pictures and I really like the team names in the pennants.

I would go with 1965. It is a great design. A fun set.

1961 is nice but after putting the set together and looking through my binder, too many head shots. Half the cards look great but the other half all look the same.

As has already been said, the ridiculous amount of 1961 headshots ("Guillotine Set") versus the beautiful pennants of 1965 makes me say this: look at it from an autograph perspective. If this was the 1960's and you were able to see the players, which cards would their signatures clearly look more beautiful on? The 65's, because it is a wonderfully colorful design.

Here's another vote for the '65 set. Bright, clear photography and Pennants! To me, it is the best design and photography of the '60s Topps sets. Some good rookies in Carlton, Perez and Hunter also.

Overall, much better eye appeal than the '61 set. I've chased and put together both sets, and the '61 high numbers wore me down, though I do like the AS cards.
