Specific Years:
1968 Topps
1962 Topps
1972 Topps
2011 Topps
2012 Tribute
Product Lines:
Generally speaking, Topps Flagship (series 1, 2 & UPD) and the Heritage Retros line are basically tied as my favorite with Gypsy Queen probably 3rd. Elite Extra Edition is my favorite Prospect line, and right behind that would probably be Inception. (I use to really like Allen & Ginter but last year, I started to like it less than the year before, and that year was less than the year before that ... And so on, and so on. I have no idea as to the decline over the years.) honorable mention ... 2 years in a row, Donruss has been fun. Maybe next year they'll rise to the Top 5 list?
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
