early 60's Bazookas, sans the 1959 set they are challenging but possible on a budget and beautiful cards. I would stay away from the 1963 set because there is a rash of fakes out there. |

I put together the 59 Fleer set and love it, right now the prices are way down and lots have been available. If I was you I would work on the 48 Bowman and 59 Fleer at the same time, or slowly work on all the sets you have listed and pick them up as you find them. I was working on three sets at the same time and finished them all within 6 months after 10 years of starting- here is the breakdown- |

I think the 1957 Topps set would be a solid choice. It's a fairly large set with a classic design and the cards don't cost a fortune. Best of luck to you in whatever you select! |

I misread your post, I thought those were the sets you had it narrowed down to starting. 55 or 56 Topps sure would be sweet. I think that the 1956 set is the peak of the fabulous fifties, although personally 1958 is my all time favorite Topps set, it is so classic and truly the last set to capture the 50's. Ted Williams last card, classic Mick, and first ever all-star cards, and the yellow variation if you want to drive yourself crazy trying to get them. The 57 is cool but not very colorful with that 50's POP, but if you are into photo shots it can't be beat. My personal rankings of the Topps sets from the 50's- |

What about a master set of Red Man's? |

The 1947-66 exhibit set as mentioned is a nice set, loaded with superstars. I mean what set has Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Maris, Ford, Drysdale and more. Most of the cards, even stars can be purchased for less than $5 and you can still get 30+ card lots at a nice price. It does have a couple of expensive cards- Mantle Port, Yaz, Richardson, Ford Port and if condition is not a big issue then all but the Mantle Port can be found under $200. |

Been kinda busy lately, so I haven't had much chance to continue to research this idea. I still want to check out those Bazooka's listed above. |
