Default Advice collecting 1955 Brooklyn WS champs

My collecting goal this year centers around Brooklyn's first and only world championship back in 1955.

The 1956 Topps Brooklyn Dodgers 24-card subset is a great fit to that 1955 team in that it has a team card, a manager card (Alston), and player cards for all the key players and even most minor ones. However, there are 4 Dodgers from the 1955 WS who are not included--
  • Frank Kellert, Russ Meyer, and Don Hoak are all shown as Chicago Cubs since they joined the Cubs immediately following the 1955 season.
  • George "Shotgun" Shuba is not in the 1955 Topps set at all.
I am a big "display guy", so I have a handful of options. I'm curious what you all think is best. For what it's worth, my display case holds 28 "landscape" cards in seven rows of 4.
  1. Build my display without these four guys - maybe filling the slots with other 55 WS-related cards or items.
  2. Use the 1955 Golden Stamps series for these four players since it includes all four as Dodgers
  3. Use 1956 Topps for the three Cubbies and use the stamp for Shuba only
  4. Use 1956 Topps for the three Cubbies and use 1955 Bowman for Shuba
  5. Use 1955 Bowman for Hoak, Shuba, and Meyer and use something else for Kellert (1956 Topps Cubs, 1955 Topps Archives Dodgers, 1955 Golden Stamp)
  6. Something different

I know there are a few other display guys out there that run into this kind of situation. Luckily, I have a while to decide since I only have 9 of the 24 main Dodgers to begin with.
