Topps 50s, 60s 70s
I have done them all, with any variations listed in SCD (and then some, but not card stock color differences other than the 52 reds and blacks) , but worked on them so long ago that I do not have a good feel for how hard it is currently to assemble them.
As Zach mentioned, a 1952 "Super" set with all catalog and some non catalog variants is really tough. The super set in the recent H&S auction went for $ 150,000 ( you need 2 Mantles among other things).
The 52 and 54 "Canadian" grey backs are almost impossible now
It was hard but fun to find all the green tints in 62'
The 58 yellows and 69 whites are also challenging
Collecting any Topps insert or test sets for each of those years can also add to the complexity...or adding a pack to the set. If you do packs I think 56 and 58 are the toughest
