    IMO, no particular order:

    1-T206
    2-1952 Topps
    3-1933 Goudey
    4-1957 Topps
    5-1953 Topps

    I collect post-1970 Topps, so this would be my top 5:

    1. 1971 Topps
    2. 1975 Topps
    3. 1977 Topps
    4. 1973 Topps
    5. 1982 Topps

    My list is more personal than anything else, going by the cards I remember first collecting or buying from card shops or "flipping" for in the mid-70s. I know many collectors don't care for the 73 set, but I love the gold and black backs on those cards (always seemed very vintage to me) and the many action shots and horizontally pictured cards.


    Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
