What is your favorite Topps Regular series design by decade? **UPDATED**

Bunker

Mine go something like this:

50's - 1955

60's- 1962

70's - 1973

80's - 1982

90's - No opinion

00's - 2006 (It is the only one that I have from the 2000's)

Overall my favorite Topps design of all time is the 1955. Special issue would be the Heritage series.

What are yours?

1950's - 1959 - The bright colors really capture the feel of the era. My favorite star photo in the set is Al Kaline. Great picutre of him swinging his bat.

1960's - 1963 - I like the bright colors and two photos on each card. My favorite star photo from the set is Koufax.

1970's - 1976 - Nice blend of colors while still maintaining white borders. My favorite card is the George Brett. Not a great action shot, but a nice photo.

1980's - 1983 - I like the 1984 cards better, but some of the photos look faded (Joe Morgan, Rickey Henderson etc.). My favorite star card photo is Paul Molitor. I love the old Brewers helmets.

1990's - 1997 - Nice colors and great photography. My favorite star photo is Derek Jeter.

2000's - 2001 - The 50th Anniversary cards are nice. I would put 2003 as a close second. My favorite photo in 2001 is Mark McGWIRE.

I thought I would add something different by picking my favorite card in each set. I didn't include commons because I have not seen them all for the older sets.

That's because all the "smart" people on here collect vintage........

they are far too wise and intelligent to condescend to collect anything from the 90's.......

RonBurgundy

50's - 1957

60's - 1963 ('67 is a close second)

70's - 1975

80's - 1983 (expanding it to other companies, I'd take '84 Donruss)

90's and beyond - Burn them all.



Stay classy,

Shea, thanks for posting the Jeter. I love the photo on the card. I have an appreciation for both vintage and modern cards. Some of the modern photos are truly works of art.

I'm not sure about 1950s or 1960s since I have no way of collecting those yet. And I'm undecided about the 2000s.

Looks like 1983 is a runaway!

blindflyer

my votes --- with a card from each set I like:

1959 -- clean, interesting design


1960 -- really like how the names were multi color, again very interesting design


1972 -- very 70's to me, love the 3d affect


1980 -- simple, love how the little pennants frame the card. also like how the border is diff colors for diff teams

Hey, don't forget the backs:

1970s: 1977; very clever billboard design.
1980s: 1989
1990s: 1992; love the pictures of stadiums they did that year

50's - 56 Topps

70's - 78 Topps
80's - 80 Topps
90's - 91 Topps
00's - None

theczar

50's-1958
60's-1966 (where is the love?)
70's-1975
80's-1983

you should start a thread what are the worst designs by decade
60's-1968 (what's the deal with the big dots on the first series and small dots on the rest of the cards?)
70's-1974
80's-1987- i am not a fan of the wood paneling. although i may get slammed by a lot of 1987 fans

thanks
