My favorites:
1952 Bowman - Beautiful artwork, attractive 2nd year cards of Mays of Mantle, a classic Musial card, and due to smaller set size and generally lower prices than 52 Topps or 51 Bowman, the set can actually be completed on a smaller budget.
1956 Topps - Classic design and another set full of amazing art and HOF cards at "reasonable" prices, making it more collectible.
1975 Topps - Brett and Yount rookie cards, Hank Aaron, and bright, bold colors. Has always been my favorite set from the 70's.
