and the ugly

[VinTX]

I can't really say that I think any of them are really UGLY per se. There are certainly some that are kind of boring and/or dull...but ugly? nah...

+1. I stand corrected...

'86 did stink, and heavily, although I was focusing my thinking on 52-79.

I always thought the '73 action shots were okay, and the white borders with the little silhouette, IMO, are much better than some of the others.

Wow. Guess I'm the minority opinion here. I actually like 1973 the BEST of any set in the 1970s. The 1973 Aaron card inparticular is a favorite of mine. That was the set that made me decide to start collecting actually.

My worst set would be that ugly monstrosity .... 1972.

Cheers,

No discussion of ugly sets would be complete without mentioning the 1990 Topps set. Yuck.

Howard - I considered 1975 too, but at least I liked the look of the All Star cards in that year. Can't think of one single card in the 1972 set that I like the look of. (Okay now that I say it - I do like the Clemente card - but that's the only one. So for me that gives 1975 an edge over 1972.)

Cheers,
