I'd never be able to do a full countdown, because my collection is pretty low on cards prior to '69, since that's when the Padres entered the league, plus I'm extremely biased and would have '92 and '93 near the top because I love them so much.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439278650702057885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-23746374750526363462015-02-02T22:35:17.039-06:002015-02-02T22:35:17.039-06:00I'd put 1991 in the top ten, but close enough....I'd put 1991 in the top ten, but close enough.

That's the great thing about lists like these. With 1000 different people you would probably get 1000 different top 10 lists.

I'd be curious to see at this point next year where you'd fit 2015 Topps into the rankings. I had a feeling 1965 was going to be up there, boy I'd love to do that set.

All the other designs have a feel for them. Like something that belongs and carries on. '72 is that pair of bell bottoms and the huge wide collar shirt that was out of style the following year. If you wore it, you were embarrassed and shunned - and rightfully so. It's that guy or girl that never changed their style from high school, and REALLY need to be updated to the times. All the other releases by Topps don't feel dated.<br /><br />'72 does. And it's not is a good way.
