Tuff Stuff did this a few years in a row around the mid-90s. Basic "hit and miss" catagories; best (sport) card design, best (sport) set, best non-sport set, worst (sport) card design, worst (sport) set, and worst non-sport set.
Feel free to make your choices, with or without comments. I did not buy any baseball so I will take a bias towards football.
Best (Sport) Design: 2010 Topps Finest Football (....my favorite card of the year is the red refractor of Tony Gonzalez from this set. )
Best (Sport) Set: 2010 Topps Football. The set that almost never happened. (Although honestly, despite the fact they lost their license...I believe that the Topps employees knew the set would happened and likely acted in business like usual...meaning there was no late rush to make the 2010 Topps sets as some have suggested.)
Best Non-Sport Set: Do they still make non-sport cards outside of Magic?
Worst (Sport) Design: 2010 Playoff Prestige Football...looks like a turned down late 90s Leaf Rookies & Stars design. Topps Peformance Football is close....it is Topps attempt at a Playoff Prestige set I guess...because Triple Threads was not enough.
Worst (Sport) Set: 2010 Playoff Prestige Football...see above. To be fair the designs on the limited number of sets are not bad overall.
