The top baseball card set of all time is.... 1965 Topps?!

[Rhotchkiss]

My top 5 in order (does not include cabinets or PCs):

T206
1952 Topps
1933 Goudey
1914 Cracker Jack
1955 Topps

Honorable mention, next 5
1951 Bowman
1948 Leaf
1953 Topps
1957 Topps
E107

Can you tell I don’t prefer “modern”?!

How about Old Judges? The set that never ends.

Yes to 65 Topps!

As I'm a member of the Trading Card Database, and have voted on many of these sets, I think I'll chip in with my ratings.

1. 9.5 - 1933 Goudey
2. 9.0 T206
T205
1952 Bowman
1953 Topps
1965 Topps
1967 Topps
8. 8.5 1909-11 Obak
1948 Signal Gasoline Oakland Oaks
1951 Bowman
1952 Topps
1953 Bowman Color
1954 Topps
1956 Topps
1963 Topps


I rated 1971 Topps 8.0 -it would be higher, but the backs are pitiful. I have 1957 Topps at 7.5, and 1993 Upper Deck at 8.0 In my opinion, 1993 UD is the only non-vintage set that deserves consideration for the greatest set of all time.

I've never seen those before. IMHO, if that was a major league set, it would be among the most popular ever. That is a GORGEOUS card, especially for its era. First set to use actual color photographs in full color?

I'm a fan:

The best major set of all time was also the first major set of all time. No set is more interesting, more challenging, or more iconic than the Old Judge set.

1975 Topps
1971 Topps
1984 Donruss
