TOPPS LEAST ATTRACTIVE BASE SET - ricelynnevans75 - 11-25-2011 The winner of the Topps Least Attractive Base Set, probably not much of a surprise, is 1990 Topps. With that said, it beat out the 2002 Topps set by a mere four point. Hope all of you that participated enjoyed this little run. I figured it was something different to do on the boards. If anyone wants to see something similar with another set/brand/etc, I'm willing to do so again. Just post some ideas/thoughts here. Thanks everyone! Breakdown of Voting

Thanks for sharing the results. How about doing one for other sets such as Fleer, Donruss/Leaf, Upper Deck, Score/Pinnacle, etc.) or how about doing one for the least attractive auto. RE: TOPPS LEAST ATTRACTIVE BASE SET - mnc99 - 11-25-2011 I love the 1990 Topps Ken Griffey Jr, almost picked up a psa 10 copy a couple weeks ago. I was surprised to see how rare a 10 grade was on that, and for the price it went for. RE: TOPPS LEAST ATTRACTIVE BASE SET - bustin 5 knots - 11-25-2011 Wow, I actually kinda like that set. A lot better than 2002 RE: TOPPS LEAST ATTRACTIVE BASE SET - jacobystealshome - 11-25-2011 1990 topps still 1000x's better than 1991 fleer <img src="http://keymancollectibles.com/baseballcards/images/1991fl1.jpg"> RE: TOPPS LEAST ATTRACTIVE BASE SET - ricelynnevans75 - 11-25-2011 (11-25-2011, 06:50 PM)jacobystealshome Wrote: 1990 topps still 1000x's better than 1991 fleer '91 Fleer was flat out awful from the get go and it's reputation has only grown with it over time. I almost feel like if they reversed the colors (black back/yellow writing) it MIGHT have looked a lot better. Personally, I've always liked '90 Topps for some reason. It was only a few votes ahead of '02 which someone likened to the contents of a baby diaper in the thread.

Who wants a wimpy, unmemorable design? RE: TOPPS LEAST ATTRACTIVE BASE SET - jtulliakat0628 - 11-25-2011 Out of all the representatives for that ugly set, George Bush gets the nod huh Bill?! lol I have always wondered who was the first President to appear on a baseball card. RE: TOPPS LEAST ATTRACTIVE BASE SET - 86champs - 11-25-2011 haha I've been voting for 1990 to be the worst this whole time.. Glad to see it held up |
