Set You Had Most Fun Putting Together

[Tcards-Please]

The following are my top choices:

1978 Topps - This was the first set that I put together with the help of my grandmother.

T205 - 61 away from completing which I started putting together in 2007. I have a feeling that I will always be 1 card short of the master set, which I don't mind.

1956 Topps - about 120 short, one of my favorite sets.

1952 Topps - 405 short. This will be my next set that I will attempt to tackle after I complete the T205s.

Had fun with:
*The '55 Topps for the beauty of the cards and for being in the middle of perhaps the most idealic decade for the sport and the hobby.
*The 1972 Topps that so epitomized their times with the radical design and by bringing that particular era to life like never before with all those action photos.
*I'll get some flack for this, but all the sets that followed 1973 for getting rid of the series issues and thereby eliminating the hard to get and expensive, hi-number cards. (One exception, read below.)

Least favorite to put together:
The '75 Topps set. I found it extremely overrated and just plain boring. They let the genie out of the bag in '71, when they first included action photos and took a step back in '75 when they treated them like a novelty that had run it's course.

57/71 BB, always room to upgrade, some tough high #'s/centering and black borders. Lots of expensive stars so they are not too easy and you can't just buy the whole set at one time, at least not me...

I am working on a run from 1953 to 1980 Topps with a few of the Bowmans that I haven't got serious about.
I will probably do the 1952 low numbers too, I have a good start.

A poster above mentioned the high numbered series from Topps...I gotta tell you that mostly that's just irritating to me to have to pay for high numbered, otherwise common players. The 1961 are tough for example...
I just want to get them and then close the binder. Damn high numbers!

But even though the 72 set has a TON of cards and some fairly scarce hi's...to answer the original question, it was my favorite to complete. That baseball set brought back the ol' memories of that summer where we'd buy cards almost every day...10 cents a pack. And even as a ten year old I remember noticing the different series... Somedays you'd open your pack and see ALL new cards and players, and what a blast that was for several weeks until you started seeing another whole new group!!
Luckily, with card collecting buddies like the OBC gang, I filled in the holes from that 787 card set a few years ago , complimenting my originals from that nostalgic summer. I might even try it again this summer...40 years later

Had Fun With:
1975 Topps, I remember putting my birth year set together in the late 80's and going from booth to booth at the Old Willow Grove Shows to finish out the set.
1959 Topps, I started this set my senior year of highschool in 93 and didn't finish it until well after college due to money constraints, but a great set with moderately difficult high numbers.
Least Fun With;
1967, 1966, 1961 Topps. All 3 have brutal high numbers especially in nm or better condition. I love cards but having to pay4-5 times book value for a nm common that you have not seen in that condition for almost 2 years is painful just to finally finish off the set.

I am one of the few who just loves the hunt of set collecting!!
