Funny, the multi-colored name lettering is one feature that really draws me to this set

If you drink enough, they look straight

For what it's worth, I think the 1960 Topps Mantle and Clemente are the two most attractive cards of those stars that Topps ever produced.

I went with the 1968 set, the burlap is too much for me.

1962 would probably be the next on my list, dark back, wood grain, and the lack of any card in the set to "wow" me.

I see the 68 set is the runaway winner in this vote but I voted for 67. As a kid I was a huge Nolan Ryan fan and always wanted his RC. That alone would keep me from viewing it as the worst, but I don't really mind the look either.

No, 1969 is clearly the worst! There are NO team cards in the set. All of the team names are in the same color (yellow) because of the expansion, there are many cap less player photos. The front design of the card is plain. The only good of it is that Mickey shows up for the final time and Reggie has his own rookie card. It is an easy set to complete, no high number problems at all.

Why doesn't the 1968 Topps set get more love? I love this set, enjoyed putting it together. This set holds a mystic to me for some reason. The backs are easy to read and they are horizontal, the last set to do this until 1973! Plus they give complete stats.

I agree - I love the multi-color lettering on the 60s (I also love the 57s that have the colorful blue/red letters for name/team). At the same time, I agree that the 60 horizontal two-picture format can be distracting, and the number of players without caps bothers me (e.g., Maris, Koufax)

To me though every set has some clunkers and some winners, which is why no matter which set through the 50s-70s, there are always cards I love in each

'61's for me. Muddy photography, boring design. Same with '57 and '69 Topps, muddy photography

Rich, '65's are your least favorite? After '53 Bowman and '67 Topps, that is my favorite design post war.

While '68 is leading, no one set seems to stand out as the absolute worst. Wonder if you took out sentimental favorites ('68 and '70 iare not designs liked by most, but they are my sentimental favorites) what the vote would be?
