I know 1974 may seem to be a weird choice for a favorite, but it is the one set that viscerally takes me back to my youth, especially the traded cards.

I think so, too.

Although I can't agree on the TV set cards. Not sure why, but they just don't appeal to me...and they've been done in just about every sport I collect except basketball.

Mine are driven by aesthetics and sentimentality - I can't wrap my head around liking (or disliking) a set for number of stars, rookies or condition sensitivity - all that means to me is more $$$ if I try to build a set.

1. 1978 Topps (my first cards at age 10)
2. 1967 Topps
3. 1952 Topps
4. 1972 Topps
5. 1965 Topps

My choices involve not just the aesthetics of these sets, but also the player's cards contained within the set (IE key HOFers, RCs, tough SPs, etc).

1952
1962
1968
1971
1972
