I will say the rest of the list is spot on. Those 98-01 Topps sets were bleh.

It's like the 91F set. A lot of people despise that set too. Not me. I've really grown to like it. I like this conversation though. Not sure what set design would end up being my worst of the worst.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-32880992567578096722019-06-11T19:34:06.872-05:002019-06-11T19:34:06.872-05:00And I'm one of the few who thinks that '65...And I'm one of the few who thinks that '65 Topps isn't that great, it's only slightly better looking than '66, which I consider to be the ugliest of Topps pre-70's sets (there's some really ugly 70's sets too).Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-90755236146311367432019-06-11T12:59:11.399-05:002019-06-11T12:59:11.399-05:00I know I'm the rare 2000 Topps defender, and I...I know I'm the rare 2000 Topps defender, and I recognize a lot of that is due to nostalgia, but the pictures aren't THAT bad. I get a lot more variety (i.e. not just batters batting and pitchers pitching closeup) leafing through my 2000 Topps than I do leafing through some of the 2012-2014 sets.Defenders50https://www.blogger.com/profile/09604103273054159811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-74289260111300177442019-06-11T12:12:40.338-05:002019-06-11T12:12:40.338-05:00I think you should run with P-town Tom's idea ...I think you should run with P-town Tom's idea of a bracket of worst sets ever.

'89 Bowman.
If you were to do a bracket...Ugh... '89 Bowman.<br />If you were to do a bracket of worst sets ever it would at the very least make the final four. It's definitely a #1 seed. <br />I'm a little surprised '91 Fleer didn't make your list. Many seem to either love or hate those yellow borders.

For me its not so much the design (simple is good for me) but the horrible photography on most of the cards - just boring posed shots taken in spring training like that Gwynn card (or Griffey's rookie card). The 1990 and 1991 Bowmans were just as bad in that regard.
