Some follow up to Night Owl’s 1962 Topps post. I commented that the 1962 set was awful. in fact I said it was the worst of all time. Here are my other least favorite sets followed with my favorites.
Worst Topps sets of all time.
1962 - just plain ugly
1990 – If you can’t tell by looking…
1968 – Looks allot like the 62 set to me. Dull and boring
1971 – the only reason this is here is because of the shape of all 71 cards I see the black borders make them all look worn out. Otherwise I like the way they look
1952 – I know that this is Topps most iconic set but it really does nothing for me. One of the reasons I only own about 3 of them.
1972 – I know there are lots of people that collect this set I just don’t’ understand why.
2008 – Seriously it has poka-dots on every card.
Best Topps sets of all time.
1960 - All Horizontal and two photos per card. Love it.
1975 – So colorful even a colorblind guy like me can enjoy them
1955 – Horizontal with great action pictures plus a close up.
2009 – High on my list just for Topps picture selection. Probably the best picture selection of all time.
1956 – Horizontal? Check. Vintage? Check.
1983 – Nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said.
1967 – Something about he simple design draws me. Plain white borders with some block letters. Sometimes simpler is better.
1963 – Multiple photos with a splash of color on every card.
I know it was a thrown together post jut to get me to the top of everyones blog roll again. At least it wasn't another trade post.
You know, I kind of like the 1962 set. Wood paneling is sooo '60s. Or so I lead to believe.
ReplyDelete1961 though. Ick.
I agree with most of your bests though. I especially like the 1967 cards too.
Make that "am lead to believe."
ReplyDeleteI have always really liked the 1961 Topps set, simple and colorful. But maybe it also has something to do with that being the year I really got into card collecting as a kid.
ReplyDeleteAny one interested in 2008 Topps Moments & Milestones Red Sox cards, I have a ton of dupes, all #/150. 25 cents each plus actual postage, less if you take a bunch. See list at my web site.
I always liked the 1980 set, very underrated in my opinion, simple design, decent pictures.
