https://www.mlb.com/cut4/the-best-topps-card-designs-of-all-time . ~AUGUST 10th is National Baseball Card Day!

Enjoy this article on the Topps' Design by year ~ it ranks the 25 best designs and No. 1 might be surprising though I like the author's evaluation of the '59 set as being "pop art"..... I hadn't looked at the '59 set in that light........interesting evaluation IMO....What do you think is your favorite set design?

    Favorite Topps prolly 1962.

    Favorite all time 1953 Bowman Color.

    I prefer simpler fronts.

    53 Bowman Color is hard to beat all-time without a doubt.....

    For me though its the 56 Topps set with the head and shoulder shot superimposed on a usually intense action shot with simple fonts is a winner too!

    Like the Top 10 idea for me:

    1) 1953 Bowman Color
    2) 1954 Topps
    3) 1960 Topps
    4) 1953 Topps
    5) 1975 Topps
    6) 1955 Topps
    7) 1956 Topps
    8) 1955 Bowman
    9) 1963 Topps
    10) 1962 Topps

    I really like the larger size of the 1950s cards. Loved 1989 Bowman because they went back to the larger card stock.

    Dude that wrote the article...obviously HIS opinion on the best Topps designs. With that mindset, I wouldn't trust him to watch my dog. I know it's just an opinion, but most of his choices are horrible. Probably a gluten free vegan. As Charles Barkley would say.... "Turrible"!

    They have the top two as 1971 and 1959.
    When I was a kid opening 71 topps baseball cards I knew the first letter in the player's names
    were supposed to be capitalized. It always bothered me a little that they weren't. Not a proper english freak
    or anything but it always stuck with me.

    Personally I think its hard to beat 54 or 75 topps.
