I would like to say something about the 1968 Topps though. That was the first year I really began to collect. It was so exciting getting the cards, learning about the players, and understanding for the first time what baseball cards were all about. When listing my favorites above, I was approaching things from an aesthetic angle. But I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the 1968's. I like how they look. They have a whole different feel than any other set, and I never looked at the border as "burlap". There is actually a two-tone color to the borders that burlap doesn't have. They were great cards, in my opinion. And I would say that even if they weren't the first set I collected.

I actually kinda like the look of the brown border sets (and find some appeal in them being an occasional change from the norm.)

You knew the opinions here would be varied, but the differences are even more vast than I would've expected!
