Actually, culturally and visually, even with the turmoil of the Civil Rights movement and the Cuban Missile Crisis/Bay of Pigs, etc., the first half of the sixties was pretty stark. It wasn't until after about 1966 that things got stimulating. So, IMO, Topps kind of got backward as far a set design. They should have used the 60 design in 1970 and vice versa!

In the book, short story by King, it was the the even better Rita Haworth originally. Rachel later.

1. 1967
2. 1960
3. 1962
4. 1965
5. 1964

I also think the 1960s Topps sets were pretty amazing. The only one I am not a huge fan of is 1968. Still not a bad set though.

My favorite set is 1960 Topps. It was the 1st I collected as a kid.

69, only because they were the first cards I purchased as a wee lad. Take away the sentimental attachment to the 69's, I'd go with 67.

1961 Topps baseball, but I can't stop at one. Must add 1962 Salada baseball coins, 1962 Post Cereal baseball, and 1960 Topps baseball.

Personally I like the '67 set the best and second to this set would be the '60 set. I may be different than most, but I do like all of the designs of this era (likely to the fact that Brooks Robinson is in all of them...).
