Actually, culturally and visually, even with the turmoil of the Civil Rights movement and the Cuban Missile Crisis/Bay of Pigs, etc., the first half of the sixties was pretty stark. It wasn't until after about 1966 that things got stimulating. So, IMO, Topps kind of got backward as far a set design. They should have used the 60 design in 1970 and vice versa!
