The value of a card, both monetary and sentimental, comes down to more than just the picture on it. Certain sets are known for their daring designs, like 1975 Topps Baseball. (Pink and purple? Yellow and lime green? Hurts my eyes, but many collectors love them.) How about 1978, or 1985? Some say boring, I say classic.
