Out of those 3, I chose 56. By decade my vote would have been 53, 60, and 75.

All great sets but between the three 56 has got too much going for it. Classic 50's look, all the great stars with overlap of legends careers (Campy, Jackie R., Feller, Williams still in and Koufax, Clemente, Aaron, Banks just starting).
Also 10% of cards are HOFers. Only down side in no Musial.

Once the tally is done on this one we should do the same thing except the most ugly set from each decade then go head to head to see how far 1968, I mean, which ever set is looked upon the least by collectors.

A glance at each years Clemente.... some nice looking cards.

Good idea Drew... I'll let you take the lead on the worst. I'm not a big fan of '58 or '59 so add those to your 68's

I love the 71 set. I started collecting in 70 and have about half the 70 set and only need about 25 commons to finish the 71s.

Is the Topps " winner " going to be pitted against the 1953 Bowman set, which I believe a lot of us consider the best looking set produced.
