I chose '08 it is kind of retro-futuristic :? the '05 wasn't bad either

blanning71 · Feb 6, 2010

I'm partial to the 2005 design. I don't like the black borders as they show damage really easily and the last coupld of designs with the round letter backgrounds look cheesy. The 2010 design is by far my least favorite design. It looks kinda like an old Royal Rookies release with the flaired design on the side of the cards. Great poll.

Lancemountain · Feb 6, 2010

2008 is my favorite

2007, then 2005

mudflap02 · Feb 6, 2010

I personally think that the 2004 design is the best they've put out in the last 20 years. The little foil silhouette in the corner is an outline of the player for each individual card, and the photography is top notch. The black version /54 looks even better.

And color me crazy, but I don't think Derek Jeter has a base card in 2010 Topps.

Austin · Feb 6, 2010

My top three are:

1. 2003 - I like the little head shot, like from the '63 and '83 sets.
2. 2004 - classy design.
3. 2007 - the black is cool

hive17 · Feb 6, 2010

2008. Like Sub said, it's both throw-back and progressive at the same time.

With 2005/2004 pretty much tied. I like the white.

jay1065 · Feb 6, 2010

It's a very close call between '05 and '08. I voted for '05, however.

scotty21690 · Feb 6, 2010

2001.....followed by 2005.

sportscardtheory · Feb 6, 2010

I like the "elegance" of the dark green 2001 design.

MacK · Feb 6, 2010

I love the 2002 set.

He will probably have one in Series 2.

jbone17 · Feb 6, 2010

The quality in the 2003 set sucked something awful. 2005 was the best.

19braves77 · Feb 6, 2010

I like the 2005 Design and the 2009 Design the best with 2002 the least. I didn't know the 2010's look that nice so you helped Topps because I will get a box or two for TTM. For some reason, I have that cramped up Pujols 2010 card in my head and it looks to busy.

Just want to throw this out...

Technically, 2000 should be there and NOT 2010. 2010 is a new decade

Technically, you are wrong... a decade is a period of 10 years....doesn't need to start at any one period, althoug people refer to decades as the 50s, 60s, etc..but technically a decade is just a span of 10 years.
