I have always liked the 70 Bench, plus it's an MVP year for him. The 71's of Munson and Ryan are great action shots, and as we all know the 71's can be difficult to find in great condition due to the black borders. The 72 Rose is just a nice looking card imo. For the 73's, I like Mays and Clemente as those are the last cards for each player, and the Schmidt card is the rookie card to have from any set of the 70's. The 74 Aaron is the first card in the set, and a great tribute to the new home run champion. From the 75 set, and final two cards, Brett and Yount. HoF's from one of the most popular sets in the 70's, and after the Schmidt rookie, these are probably the next two rookie cards to have from the 70's.

Fun topic, and lots of opinions.

I'd agree with all of Lou's picks with one exception:

1976 Aaron (his last card & a great photo!)

instead of 1972 Rose
