'52 Topps
I appear to be in the minority, but I get a lot of enjoyment looking at my near set of '52 Topps. I am missing approx. 17 or so high numbered cards. I enjoy looking at this set probably more so than any other set. The only sets that come close are the '54 & '56 Topps sets.
The hi numbered series, although somewhat intimidating to try to collect the complete run in its entirety, contains a number of stars. I would find it difficult to pick up the accumulated knowledge of this set that guys like Al-R, SMPEP (Patrick), Ted Z and many others have without absorbing information and collecting it over time.
I would also be concerned with trying to pick up some of the variations at a later date. Many of the '52 Topps collectors realize that there are a handful of dealers that horde certain variations whenever they pop up. I am sure it happens with others sets described above - I am just not aware that it happens to the same extent.
