Both the '62 and '68. Plus the '55 Bowman

Yeah, I like the 1955 Bowman. The whole TV set thing was cool. Not my favorite set, but I still like it.

I only have a few sets that I really dislike and the 55 Bowman is one of them. I think the TVs look cheesy plus Bowman couldn't figure out how big to make the cards. The 53 Topps looks like high school art projects with poor art and is mostly portraits. The 54 Topps with their black and white action shots look lame when Bowman was making beautiful color sets. After that Topps really stepped up their game with 3 of the nicest card sets ever made. Those 3 are really the only ones that I would say I don't like. The 64 Topps is my least favorite of the 60s, but the Clemente is one of my favorite cards. The 78 Topps is the only 70s set that I don't really like a lot, but there are lots of great cards like the Reggie Jackson.

We either completely agree or disagree about most sets, cause I love the '53 Topps design as well (especially the background artwork and bright colors.)

And I like how it contrasts with the '52 Topps, which can have a more dark and even slightly foreboding feel at times.

You know, I think I'll take back what I said about the 62's. While not my favorite set, I think I was thinking of a few cards I have that are just not in the best shape. I looked at a couple online, and yeah, I like 'em.

Default [QUOTE]Pricing on 8.5, 9 and 10s have been insane for the past 6 to 12 months on '64s

So this "dis-liked" 1964 set is way beyond popular and competitive right now on the PSA Registry. Results in from 5-11 and recently.

1. No. 435 Davalillo. PSA 9 = $202.50 (highest price by far in 7 years)
2. No. 487 McCormick. PSA 9 = $202.22 (I paid $47 for an 8.5 10 years ago)
3. No. 501 Veale. PSA 9 = $150 (avg for 3 sales in 2020 - prior not close)
4. No. 120 Drysdale. PSA 9 = $415 (avg for 2 sales in 2020 - prior avg from $200 to $300 every year)

Common 9's that are not exactly ultra low pops pulling in $150 to $200. That is insane.
