Consensus? Screw that. I'm an iconoclast. I don't deal in the concept.

Here anyway are my picks:

1) 1954 Blue Ribbon
2) 1963 Humpty Dumpty CFL coins
3) 1962 Post Cereal CFL
4) 1963 Post Cereal CFL
5) 1968 O-Pee-Chee CFL
6) 1959 Topps CFL (if my #2 pick doesn't count)

If however you really force me to limit my picks to the four down eleven man variant of the sport, these are my picks:

1) 1964 Topps
2) 1965 Topps
3) 1966 Topps
4) 1968 Topps
5) 1959 Topps

I love pre-war so there is a bias toward that era in my list

1. 1926 Pottsville Maroons RPPCs - first 'card' set that has all NFL players in it
2. 1935 National Chicle - iconic set and love the artwork
3. 1894 Mayo - how can you not include the first mainstream football set
4. 1926 Spalding - iconic football players in a multi-sport set
5. 1955 Topps AA - i love this tribute set

Honorable mention
Red Grange Shotwell sets (ad back and blank back)
