I disagree with 54 & 55 being cheaper. While no Mantle to contend with, these 2 sets have some bonkers rookie cards. Aaron, Clemente & Koufax are all more expensive than a 4th year Mantle likely would have been. '56 is the best Topps set of all time. The artwork, player selection (everybody except Stan is there) and the reasonable price. Even a decent Mantle can be found reasonably priced.
