I love the 55 Topps set. Simple, unclutter design with a potrait and anction shot. The 56 set is too busy compared to the 55s. The 55 set was also the first older set of cards I completed and pursued when I started collecting cards other than what could be bought at the corner store. The other thing that appealed to me about the set is that there is no Mantle. I have a serious dislike for the guy. I never saw him play and only knew the drunken sot that I got to meet on several occasions. So my impression of him is not good and I had a hard time justifying shelling out the money it takes to buy his cards.
