1956 !!!!
I really agree with you on the 1956 set. With Bowman out of the way, Topps had the field to themselves, and they made sure to come up with a winner. The last of their giant-sized cards. Great design--a nice combination of head shots with painted action photos. Maybe there aren't lots of rookies, but that can be over-rated. The key is they're simply beautiful cards. There's NOTHING ugly about these; they're gorgeous. The introduction of team cards was a sweet addition. Wish Don Drysdale and Stan Musial had been included, but no set is perfect.
I think you're on the right track. Salute. ---Brian Powell
