Topps
When I was young there were two years in particular that I didn’t really like the look and that was ‘62 and the ‘68 set. I wasn’t fond of brown nor did I enjoy burlap (or whatever that is). I know a lot of you are set collector’s and I liked collecting all the cards back in the day, but focused mainly on the Oriole players. While I have some cards still I focus on Brooks Robinson cards pretty much exclusively nowadays. I now like the look of all the vintage Topps sets including the ‘62 and ‘68. Probably my favorite ‘62 is the Brooksie AS card and I can’t pick a favorite ‘68 since the regular issue Topps card is cool, but then you have the Milton Bradley and the Venz as well.
To me it’s so strange that some of the sets you guys don’t like I love the look. Can’t see how someone couldn’t enjoy the looks of the ‘72 and ‘75; some of my favs.

72's are groovy! I always assumed the boys who created the '72 set were Deadheads at heart.
For me, I hated the '71 set. Black, ugly, with only one year's stats on the back. And, honestly, I still hate 'em overall, but if they're centered and the corners aren't worn, some of 'em are ok. The Ryan and Munson cards aren't bad. 2538366f.jpggrateful_dead_45.jpg

This is an old thread, but I see a lot of renewed discussions of Topps sets from the 70's, so maybe it's time to revive it...
Has a set grown on you over time?

1962 Topps, at first wasn't sure about the "woodies", but now I really dig em :-) 1973 Topps, some really nice action shots that I didn't appreciate at first.

Baseball-wise, so many have grown...others have fizzled...
The '62 Topps, '55 Bowman, '55 Topps, '60 Topps have grown on me quite a bit over the years. Among the fizzlers would be '53 Topps. I built this set twice, so it may just be over loved? I used to be nuts for late 70's stuff...that kinda fizzled, too. The rest of the sets I've always disliked remain disliked
