Photography wise it's the '64 Giants. Design wise I have to go with the '64 Stand Ups.

The 1964 Topps Giants are gorgeous, but I really like the 1963 Fleer and 1962 Post sets-- 1969 Topps Super too if considered eligible.

'64 Giants-one of the best sets ever IMO.

I particularly enjoy both the Post Cereal and Bazooka sets--all years. The 1962 JELL-O is technically a regional, but I admire that one a lot, too. --Brian Powell

Mark,

Great topic. I like most of the choices, but voted for the Post/Jello cards. I only have Hank Aaron's Post/Jello cards at this point, but I am thinking about beginning one of the sets. These cards that came on boxes are really beginning to intrigue me. I find it very cool that kids looked for their favorites on cereal/food boxes, begged their moms to buy them, then took the time to cut out and save them. Something very "Americana" about these scenarios.

the 60's and 70's are just great fun for collecting.

There is just so much great stuff from Topps inserts and odd ball issues to food issues and anything else.

Small size cards/stickers.

Oversize cards.

Hard to find and expensive.

Easy to find and cheap.

Ed, in case you were unaware of this, several of the original Post Cereal baseball card commercials await your viewing pleasure on YOUTUBE. They are extremely saturated with nostalgia. After going to Youtube, I would imagine just typing "Post Cereal baseball cards" ought to lead you to them.

If you've never availed yourself of seeing them, you really are in for a treat. When I was nearly 8, those commercials made a big impression on me. Much as I loved my Topps, they did not air kid TV commercials. I loved those Post commercials and so I guess you could say Post were the most with me. ---Brian Powell
