There are some great cards in that set - Clemente, McCovey and Killebrew to name a few. My favorite is the Reggie Jackson.

t205 - Favorite vintage set, gold borders are so awesome.
1954 - Favorite and most complete set of this era from a family collection
1971, 1972 - Some of the first cards I bought were from this set (1971 Thurman Munson, 1972 Roberto Clemente)
1980, 1983 - Some of the first packs I busted
1989 Upper Deck - A game changer, my first high end cards.
2011 Allen and Ginter - First set I decided to build after being away from the hobby for 20 years. Complete with all subsets, minis, mini subsets and full black border mini set. (still in progress)
The 71's and 72's are interesting choices. It's hard for me to imagine two sets much more different. The nice feature of the 71's is the game action photos (I think the Joe Morgan is my favorite). The glossy black border is a nightmare! As for the 72's...I'm one who loves the design. And mine still look great after all these decades. The Clemente card is a beaut - I also love the Stargell.
