What was the best Topps baseball insert 1961-1971?
Topps tried adding value to packs with inserts starting in 1961 and lasting through 1971.

For me, it's the 1970 posters, because they are definitely a value-added item, and wouldn't be relegated to your cardboard box of cards like many of the other items would. They needed to be displayed. If I was a kid collecting back then, I would've said, "Mom, do you have any push pins? I gotta get these on my wall PDQ!" (And, of course, she would reply, "Did you check the junk drawer?")

I have a set of each one and am not really fond of any of them. But I will go with the 67 posters/Pin Ups

Worst: 1965 Embossed

I really like the 1968 game cards. It is a cheap star packed set with good head shot images and a nice surface.

Based completely on nostalgia…61 Stamps. My friends and I loved getting something extra in our packs and we chased and traded these with enthusiasm. A few years ago I bought an album with a few stamps in it and I’ve managed to fill it up. We never had a checklist for the stamps back then so we had no way of knowing that the empty slots on the Senators and Angels pages could never be filled no matter how many packs of cards we bought.
I’ve put together many of the others since they are cheap and easy to find for the most part. I never cared for the Embossed cards.

I have completed all but 3 of the sets listed and have singles of the others...for me the Coin sets are easily my favorites and the Embossed set is easily the worst.
