What was the best year for baseball cards?

Well I'm glad I'm getting some support for 2005!

For me nothing will be like 1998-2001. Trying to isolate one of those years is tough. 2005 is very close too.

I definitely agree. Pacific was always my favorite brand and it was common for me to get lucky with my packs. Not to mention how amazing all the cards were. I tried to buy a pack of every product and it was a lot of fun. I also got my first hobby boxes w/ two 2001 topps heritage boxes. I pulled an arod auto in the second box and have never since been so excited about a pull. 2005 was the next year I got a hobby box (05 bdp) and pulled a ryan zimmerman xfractor. I still own both those cards.

2005 was my favorite year. Best card sets and best rookie class in the last 20 years.

1987

1984 to 1994 was sort of my own personal golden era, from Don Mattingly to the Strike. 1987 would have to be my favorite closely followed by 1991.
