Which decade means the most to our hobby/Baseball Card HOF

Since we are upon a new decade, let's vote on which decade means the most to our hobby in the most general sense. I am using this older thread I created to use the Baseball Card Hall of Fame to help keep up with the innovations throughout each decade and such. Please explain why you voted the way you did.

Arguably the top 3 best game used cards ever are in this set. I don't know how you can argue against the set. Many of the most important game used cards & players are included in this set. Its hard to explain, but if you've ever taken time to look through the set, it is the most important set of all time as far as Game Used cards go.

I've decided to add the TOTT subset so there is no confusion

I have passed on commenting on your other posts, but this one I couldn't. What kind of idiot are you? The jumbo GU in that set are currently and will probably be one of the most collected sets. With the combo of HOF, retired stars, current stars and nobodys, it has something for everyone.

When you asked to borrow money from someone to buy a card

The 13 thousand posts about wanting to buy, already bought, or wanting peoples opinions on a Topps Traded Cabrera

Offering to trade a card that was currently being offered on eBay, that wasn't yours, because you would buy it

I'll stop there, but with the number of posts you have, I'm sure I can find quite a few more.

Doesn't this set also have the significance of marking the end of Donruss licensed MLB products? I think that makes it even more special. They went out with a BANG.

Thats exactly right. I know they had heard the new they would not be liscnsed the following year, so they threw everything they had into the product. End with a bang as you stated. The TOTT Set was amazing and looked amazing
