To briefly counter this - if you love the cartoons over the stats, there is probably not a better set in the world than 1956 Topps. That's part of why it's my favorite set ever. Not only those classic, colorful fronts - but that great full 1950's cartoon panel on the back. The pitcher trembling on the back of Ted Williams' card, or Carl Furillo's home runs hitting an airplane on the back of his? It doesn't get much more classic than that.
