Gotta admit those glendales are beaufiful! Dave

[HOF Yankees]

pre war Diamond Stars

post war 48, 49 and 50s bowmans, or 1959 and 1960 topps

[Touch'EmAll]

Y'know, I happen to like Raquel Welsh a lot too. Yesiree.

[rainier2004]

Guess what I voted for...

[Sean]

T3, nothing else is close.
And I prefer the 1965 Topps for best post-war set.

[3-2-count]

T3's by a land slide. For those who have never held one in person to see just how incredible they really are, I'd suggest that you do.

Cracker Jacks (preferably 14's come in 2nd)

[quinnsryche]

Pre War - T3 (The T206 Johnson port. is the BEST prewar card).
Post War - 1953 Bowman Color (The Mantle is the BEST postwar card, hands down IMO).
Man I love these threads about best vs rest!

I've handled many T3s and many T212 Obaks over the years and the latter still comes out on top for me.

[e107collector]

Sticking with my favorite set of all time - E-107's.

Also think the E 107 is the best looking of all time. There`s something about the black and white sets that really intrigue me, and seeing a high graded one is just a bonus. Second choice for me, 56 Topps. Great looking set !

[dabigyankeeman]

I voted T3, these things are totally awesome.

For Topps though, I would pick 1956 by far over any other Topps set.

[tuckr1]

Love the 1953 Topps set

[tbob]

E94 Close Candy set.

[Matthew H]

I like Old judge, 1914 Zeenuts, and T4s... There are so many beautiful PCL sets, I'm surprised not even one has been included.

[EGreenwood]

I gotta go with the T3 / T9 set. Love the 53 Color Bowmans too.

[murcerfan]

The Large Allen and Ginters from 1888 always have to be considered IMO

[timber63401]

They wont get any love but I think a high grade 1933 Delong is stunning.

n162 goodwin champions
n184 kimball champions - I know I know - I'm the only one.............

honorable mention T3, CJ

[kcohen]

No contest - N162

[rjackson44]

33 goudey thanks

[EvilKing00]

T3
T205

Pretty easy choice IMO

[brewing]

I don't know what's more disturbing. Cracker Jack being misspelled or the inclusion of 1955 Bowman.

Picking the best looking set is like picking my favorite song. What it is today, it won't be tomorrow.

Today my vote is 1956 Topps, with 1953 Bowman on its rear.

Sry I cant spell - I thought we went over this


also - don't you like those old school TV sets???? come on.... its classic

[Sean]

Classic like the San Diego Padres uniforms of the 1970s.

[glchen]

There was a similar thread here: Link

I'll still go with:

1. 1914 T222 Fatima
2. 1917-20 M101-6 Felix Mendelsohn

[cliftons8]

I agree that the 53 Bowman Reese may be the best looking card of all time. I have a T3 of Clarke that is visually awesome. However, I believe the T202 is the best looking set. I really like the color photos on both sides of the B/W photo. This is a set I am slowly working to complete. It was also the first tobacco card I ever bought.

[Republicaninmass]

T3's with CJ's a very close second

same for me

[obcbobd]

33 Goudey

[npa589]

T3s, with the T3 Cobb at the helm

[Clark7781]

I'm a T card guy, but honestly, I love the look of the 1956 Topps Cards...

[oldphil]

Always have and always will like the T205s.

[RCMcKenzie]

I voted for T206. I'm surprised it's losing on here.

I'd forgotten to vote, so I threw my hat in for the T206. The T3 set is way out in front.

[the 'stache]

I think we can all agree that while we have preferences, pretty much all the sets being listed are incredible. They have the charm that modern cards will never achieve (and this coming from a guy that's been a modern card collector for three years).

[Wynn0013]

It's hard to narrow it down. I like T202s for the mix of color and black & white, plus information on the backs. A special mention for N300s and N162s.

[TNP777]

T3 for me - I'd love to own one someday.

Did anyone ever take a stab at rendering the '53 Bowman Color Reese in a T3 format? I think that'd be so stinkin' cool.

I think the '53 Bowman Reese was already a stab at T3. General consensus is that it's a 1941 B&W spring training photograph that was colorized. There's a couple of threads here on the forum that talk about it. I'd try to search them out for you but I stink at that stuff.

[yanks4]

Should be obvious to all.....

[tedzan]

Why are the 1955 BOWMAN or 1959 TOPPS sets on this list ? Regarding post-WWII sets....why isn't the 1953 BOWMAN set listed in this Poll ?

Anyhow, when one judges a set by it's looks, it doesn't get any better than this............

1888 GOODWIN CHAMPIONS (N162) set............
