I'd have to go with 1995. The script name is difficult to read sometimes to begin with then when it is gold or silver leafed, like the 1993 Gold parallels it is harder to read. Plus the ink had a tenancey to flake off or ware off like the early versions of Topps Gallery making a white indentation on a white backbground nearly impossible to read. If there is enough of the imprint left after turning the card around in various angles to adjust the light hitting it sometimes you can read the name.

It's all a matter of opinion of course, and I used to not like '90 Topps, but right now I would have to go with '93 and '94 Topps. Over time, I have went from hating some designs, like the '68 Topps, or the '81 Topps for instance, but they grew on me after a while. '91 Topps is one of my favorite simple designs for Topps 40th anniversary, the photography is what really stands out though. I really like the Topps Tiffany for '91, much better card stock, printing and focus than the regular set. Big difference.

I go with 1999 Topps here. Reuse of the border color from the prior year. Player names are small, sideways, and quite hard to read. Backs are actually fine by my standards, but that isn't enough to forgive the front. For an older set (older than me, at least), I've never really liked 1972.
-------------------------------
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

I may be the only one in the world, but I consider 1990 Topps to be my all time favorite baseball set design. Granted, I have not seen all of them, but I've seen all of Topps's issues by looking around on the Database, and many from other companies.
I can't think of a single way to improve the 1990 design. The colorful borders, the texture built in, the old style card back...everything is just so darn perfect.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I think 98 is actually my least favorite but i have to agree with some of the others about not being a fan of the 86 design either.

I actually like the 86 set alot
I would go with 99 like suggested above just because it was same border as 98, and frequently confused the two years for me

Definitely, the 1990 Topps is one of the worst, most visually painful designs. To me it's like a modern update to the 1975 Topps, another contender for worst ever.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |
