Many outstanding cards in the set IMO. It's hurt a bit by only having one major rookie, but I think overall it's attractive.

Overrated - 1954 Topps. They look like they are all miscut.

Underrated - 1964 Topps - Simple and east to sort by team.

Least Favorite - 1975 Topps - Ugh!

Favorite 1965 Topps edges out 1967 Topps - 1965 is what baseball cards should look like. Great design.

Peter--- I love the 59 set but Gibson in pink was not a highlight.

Packs---agree the F Robinson is a highlight

Overrated – Any high grade issue in a PSA holder with gaps between the card and the inner rails.

Underrated – 1968 Topps – this set gets quite a bit of hate because of the borders. It has a great lineup, though, with cards such as: the Nolan Ryan rookie; Tom Seaver 2nd year; All-Star cards, League Leaders, player combos like Manager’s Dream; Mantle, Clemente, Aaron, Mays, etc.

Least Favorite – 1963 Topps Pete Rose – Plenty for me not to like: this issue was heavily counterfeited early on, which led teenage me to avoid it like the plague; I don’t care for “floating head” cards; and Pete’s lifetime ban further soured me on this card.

Favorite – 1956 Topps – tremendous player selection, large sized cards, horizontal orientation, multiple player images on front, cartoons on the back. I like every design element of this set.
