My most Favorite:

1950's : 55, runner up 57
1960's : 67, runner up 69
1970's : 73, runner up 72. I actually like all the 70's especially 71 thru 78. 72 is sentimental since that is the first year I collected as a kid.

I genuinely like 73's at least as much as any 70's set. Simple design, nice font, cool icons for positions, even the pitcher's icons differentiated LHP and RHP. Plus alot of the photography is really cool imo. I guess that is the first year topps included actual action photos as the main card for many players in the set. Love the Clemente in the 73's as well. Thought it was a fitting shot with his face in shadows.
