My favorite is definitely the 1972 set. I love all the 'in action' shots--especially the Tito Fuentes, Bobby Bonds and Roberto Clemente--and the cool 'Traded' high numbers. I know it's psychedelic looking and all, but I can't for the life of me figure out why there isn't more love for the '72s.
The worst, by far, to me is the abomination known as the 1958 Topps set. Yowza. The only saving grace are the very cool looking 'all star' cards...but there's only a handful of them.

My Least favorite:
1950's : 58, runner up 59 1960's : 68, runner up 60 1970's : 70, runner up 79 My most Favorite: 1950's : 55, runner up 57 1960's : 67, runner up 69 1970's : 73, runner up 72. I actually like all the 70's especially 71 thru 78. 72 is sentimental since that is the first year I collected as a kid. I genuinely like 73's at least as much as any 70's set. Simple design, nice font, cool icons for positions, even the pitcher's icons differentiated LHP and RHP. Plus alot of the photography is really cool imo. I guess that is the first year topps included actual action photos as the main card for many players in the set. Love the Clemente in the 73's as well. Thought it was a fitting shot with his face in shadows.
