#2) for me. I generally collect 1952 Topps for Post-War cards and print variations as well as errors. The set has some expensive print variations (Campos partial border, red star black star, gray back cards and Yellow House versions). IMHO, the set is not truly complete without the major variations. Sort of like collecting cards of one particular player, but not having his rookie card.
