For me, the 1953 is my favorite. I love the large "paintings" and overall design.

for 60s only, the 67 set. Simple, uncluttered design. The Mantle card has always been one of my favorite regular issues of his.

I love the colors on the 72's. I also have a affinity for the 77's since it was the first year I collected bb cards.

For the front design, either '57, '67, '56 or '64
For the back (I know, who cares) either '72, '57, '66 or '77 (my first year as a real collector)

Best All-Time = 1953 (I think the two best-looking Topps BB cards of all-time are the Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays from '53)

Best of the '60s = 1962

Default Woodies for me.

I dig the '62's. I have four or five slabed packs. One of my packs is a 1962 Topps Wax Pack with Mantle/Mays Managers Dream card on the back.

1970s: 1978 is da bomb. love the script lettering, some of the images are outstanding.

Default "59 are just dreadful"

Respectfully disagree.

Favorite: 1959 (The last year I actively collected. I think it was about then when I noticed that girls had different parts)

Next: 1953 (The first year I actively collected)

Just based on eye appeal, I'd pick the 57s, though I like the 55s as well. My favorite post-war set is the 1953 Bowman Color, so I tend to like cards with great photos and minimal distaction. The 57 is the closest to this.

Since you qualified it by Topps Sets I'd have to go with 1956 Topps for the '50s (although the '53 Bowman Color Set blows away any other set from that era).

For the 1960's - I'd go with 1967 Topps.

Default Best Topps Set

I always liked the 1972 Topps Set with the bright colors and the In Action Cards. I can remember looking at the back of the Expos Team card where they list the Career Batting and Pitching Leaders and thought it looked cool seeing Rusty Staub,s name on every batting category(I know they were only 3 years in).

Default Hands down

1954 Topps is the best. Banks, Kaline and Aaron rookies + two Teds. Easy winner. :P
