Which iconic set had the best sequel?

[Leon]

Easy answer for me...

This is a prewar forum with lots of guys who love the old stuff, so I expect T205 will win by a significant margin. Although, objectively, I think you could make a solid argument for 1953 Topps.

I also think 1915 CJ (the fake 1914s) and 49 Bowman could be in the mix (I think every bowman through 1952 is an awesome sequel)

Leon, the Cobb is awesome!

I love the look of the 205’s and the various ad backs

I like the look of the 53 Topps way better than the 52s.

Thanks Ryan. And if I find a 3rd one I love (and can afford), I will own it too!
To me, the T205 Cobb is one of the most visually appealing cards in the hobby.

Never been a big fan of 1953 Topps. Too many head shots. Prefer some game action… which is why the Mays is my favorite from the set.

Of the three, I voted t205 but consider 53 topps a close second.

I love that t205 is so colorful, and also love the period write-ups on the backs.
To me, the only negative to t205 is the three different designs. I really like all three a lot, but to see them as one set messes with my ocd a bit.

three t205 designs in order of preference for me:

1. NL
2. AL (although it has really closed the gap between 1&2 the last few years)
3. minor league
