Title says it. Whats yours? For me I competed it today which is why I posted this. The 2021 Topps Juan Soto Highlights set. Only a 30 card set but its special to me. Even though he may be on a team in the city which I hate. I will never forget the 2019 Wild Card Game with a card in the set about it.

This — because it is awesome.

(I could have picked any number of '90s sets but this one always jumps to mind first.)

I dont collect basketball but they do look cool!

Hard to pick a favorite but as far as modern baseball, it’s probably Home Field Advantage. Thought about trying to make a set, but could see how expensive it can get. 

Never really thought about it. I'll have to think it over. But I can tell you this...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the modern era. A whole lot of meaningless garbage.

Might have to make a User List of my favorite insert sets.

They are cool. I picked up the cavalli for the Nats this year recently. 

After thinking about it, a tie, 1968 Topps Baseball Game and 1971 Topps Football Game. Inserts you could actually have fun using.

Pacific used to have some pretty cool baseball inserts: 2000 Revolution - Foul Pole Net-Fusions; '98 and '99  Revolutions Foul Pole; '97 Card-Supials; '98 Cramer's Choice die cuts; '98 In the Cage die cuts; 2000 Aurora - Styrotechs; 2000 Prism - Dial-A-Stats; '00 & '01 Ornaments

1997-98 Pacific Omega No Scoring Zone (hockey).  This is one of those sets that is designed so bad it kind of grows on you, like a dog that's so ugly it's cute and steals your heart.  All anyone in my family has to do is mention that set's name and it is good for several minutes of laughter.

1997-98 Pacific Omega - No Scoring Zone

Unless or until I complete any of the Allen & Ginter insert series that I like, I'll count 1992 Upper Deck Homerun Heroes as favorite. While it's not their best early insert set (I might rank the Baseball Heroes runs as classier designs), Homerun Heroes hits for me because it was the first subset that I thought, "I need to complete this set," and then completed it.

I'm also a fan of the 1989 Pro Set Announcers series. It felt fresh at the time to include the national voices the game, though I look at some of those names now and go, "meh."
