Survey: Rate each Topps flagship design from 1951-2023.

Cast my vote as well. My favorites are by far 1987 and 1989.

That was a lot to get through!

Before I started, I was worried that I would have to rank them relative to one another. Do I put 82 ahead or behind of 86? Much easier with this format to just give each one its own score.

Done....The last 20 years of cards all look the same to me....I am sure the younger guys might say the same about the older cards...but I am under 50 and couldn't tell you with certainty what year is what after 1997 with the exception being a couple of RCs

Oh man, that's a good point. I should have had a spot to enter the age of the survey taker. That would give some good insight regarding the preferences of collectors based on age. Oh well, too late now. Maybe I'll do this survey again next year when the 2024 design comes out and will include that question next time. Thank you to all who have participated so far!

Totally agree.

I think 52s are nice but overrated because they are so iconic. '53 and '55 Topps are my favorites of that era.. then '73 and '87...

I picked 1972 as my favorite as it was the last year I collected as a kid, and they are psychedelic. Who doesn't like that?
