Easily 2005 for me, because of the multiple good choices from multiple companies.

Love that not every week more junk isn't flooding the market and rotting on shelves.
Chicle was very cool product, Topps still has plenty of choices for people who collect current players and minor leaguers to buy from. Nice that releases now are something to look forward to.
