Favourite base card sets

hopalong · May 22, 2015

I guess they don't get much love for obvious reasons, but what are your favourite base card sets? Low-end, high-end, for whatever reasons...

Personally I like

10-11 Classics

13-14 Timeless Treasures

14-15 Court Kings

96-97 Upperdeck Collector's choice (purely sentimental)

This iconic set for sure

This one, 91-92 Upper Deck:

or this one, 91-92 Skybox:

For a mix of nostalgia and design for both..

I'm a huge base fan, so thank you for this thread. I'm gonna stick with the old school stuff for now and move in to the 00s when I get some pics.

Huge fan of 93/94 Skybox and the rest from that year (Ultra, UD etc)

95/96 Flair is incredible. 96/97 Flair

So many good sets.
