Agree with Jolly, the 71 set just looks crummy unless in really nice shape, then you have to worry about if the card was "doctored" with a black pen, etc... Overall some really nice sets from this decade. 1970 has some great backs, easy to read and very colorful, cartoon, etc. 1972 is a huge set, but a classic that has a colorful and unique look. I don't love the darker backs that are found on the 71, 74, 76, & 79 sets. Harder to read. Finally, I know it's dopy, but I fell that 74 and 79 are missing something without the rookie all star trophy cards. When I was in like sixth grade, I thought those were the coolest cards in the world. I think I traded a Mattingly Rookie for the 1966 Tony Perez and I was happy for like 7 weeks.

1975 is the easy choice for me. Those color combos are so disco, you've got a great selection of Hall of Famers, two trophy bucks and even a couple other "minor" RCs.

These things just scream 70s in every way.
