  1. Some tough votes this time around... I had to vote *against* some 1970's sets! That goes against everything I stand for!

  2. The 55 Red Man Gus Bell is my favorite of the lot and I hope it wins. But . . . the 1960 Kahn's Gus Bell is what twelve year old wants to win: "The Wiener The World Awaited!"
