1) 1959 Fleer, How can a all Ted Williams set not be the best ever.

4) 1975 Topps, Love the bright colors.

My list looks different than it would have 5 years ago.

1.) 56 (will always be may favorite as it is the creative apex of Topps and it contains all of the stars that used to be split with Bowman. A Musial and Frank Robinson and it would have been a true masterpiece)

2.) 65 (I love the design. '80 was my first real year collecting as a kid and the pennants on '65 remind me of '80. My favorite Mantle card as well)

3.) 55 Bowman (The color TVs are so cutting edge - like if there was an Iphone set in 2008)

4.) 63 (Really dig the design - love the bright backs)

5.) 78 (This one has grown on me over the years. Reggie is baseball card perfection).

Honorable mention - the back of the 54 Topps.

The one ring that trumps all - 52-55 Red Man sets. I think these are the most undervalued sets in post war. Beautiful cards, relative scarcity, big names, they are spectacular to look at!
