Overall I would say pick the set that you like the most, but have to agree with this comment. The pictures on a good deal of the '57 cards aren't great, and even for those that are - the print defect problem in this set as a whole (perhaps because of the real photography?) is awful in comparison to a lot of other sets from the 1950's. When collecting '57s anymore, I go for the pictures being registered and as clean as possible first without that "snow" over even things like centering. This is another set where there is a wide variety in quality between some cards that get the same technical grade because of the snow problem.
