I have a feeling some of my favorites are among most people's most hated. For me it's a combination fo design and also which sets I coveted when I was a kid. Anyway, my favorite five, not necessarily in order:
1952 Topps 1971 Topps 1959 Topps 1973 Topps 1965 Topps

1974 Topps
1963 Fleer 1955 Topps 1960 Topps 1975 Topps I know 1974 may seem to be a weird choice for a favorite, but it is the one set that viscerally takes me back to my youth, especially the traded cards.

My choices involve not just the aesthetics of these sets, but also the player's cards contained within the set (IE key HOFers, RCs, tough SPs, etc).

1-1957 Topps
2-1952 Bowman 3-1963 Topps 4-1965 Topps 5-1975 Topps I liked the 61s when I was a kid but they dragged on me over time. I put a complete set up for auction recently. The pics are so dull. I know 75 is quirky but it typifies the era in which I was a college student plus I bought the set for $6.99 from Barry Allen back then.

Take a look at this very old thread showing (some) of the beauty of the 1974 set...
https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=172335 I personally think it's pretty darn majestic. An awesome design with the colors highlighting the team names perfectly done, a wonderful integration of very cool game-action shots, plenty of variations to chase, and just a sharply focused, rich printing job. Truly, an awesome set to flip through.

The lack of significant rookie cards keeps it affordable...part and parcel of being ignored by investors and "serious collectors." Anyway, you are right. It was a brilliant job by Topps.
