Oh man, hard choice. The '54 set has Hank Aaron's rookie, and I'm a huge Aaron fan. Aaron is revered in Milwaukee, where I was born, and with good reason. The '55 set has Clemente's rookie, and I'm an even bigger Clemente fan (by a hair).
How can you go wrong? '54 has Aaron, Banks and Kaline rookies. '55 has Clemente, Koufax and Killebrew rookies. Are you kidding me? Either set is going to have iconic rookie cards. Either set is going to be visually striking. Great color, great design.
I honestly don't know if I could choose. I might go with '55 only because the '54 set doesn't have the rookies I listed. That might just be enough to get me to collect the '55 set.
