I didn't have many at all, so whatever I acquired in trade back then seemed like pure gold to me. I had very few cards in general back then, but what I did have was Topps.Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715669350824994128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324360555346231676.post-11396082220603285702011-04-20T00:18:59.080-05:002011-04-20T00:18:59.080-05:00I'm just getting back in to collecting, but ca...I'm just getting back in to collecting, but card design and layout has always been huge with me. My Faves:<br /><br />1973 Topps<br />1976 Topps<br />1982 Topps<br />1983 Topps<br />2004 Topps<br />2005 Topps<br />2008 Topps (why is there so much hate for this set's design?)<br />2011 Topps<br /><br />Fleer, UD, and Donruss had some good years too, but I'm a Topps guy. I completely agree w/ the above poster in regards to White Borders and Team Logo, and I'd add position to that as well.Aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324360555346231676.post-23679093678871737622010-04-24T19:07:50.504-05:002010-04-24T19:07:50.504-05:00Thanks for sharing John.

I admit, I have none of these cards (newly back in) but I'm not as horrified as some people about that design.<br /><br />I can see the similarity between 2001 and 2010 in terms of the photo taking up the whole card.<br /><br />1983 is one of my favorites as well. I think the circle with the close-up of the player's face is what does it for me.<br /><br />1964 and 1986 are very similar for me, but on the 86 cards you don't have the border going all the way around.Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715669350824994128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324360555346231676.post-62761360737549660962010-04-23T15:26:05.959-05:002010-04-23T15:26:05.959-05:00For me:
