I have told my kids to pick out their favorites so that they can have it when I am one day gone. My daughter has always migrated to 62 and, especially '55. She likes the wood grain on 62. She thinks the televisions are cool. Only 3 programs were even made in color in 1955 and I read that only 3% of families had a color TV in 1955. It was a very cutting edge set - sort of like if there was an Iphone set in 2007 and it took 15 years for it to scale up versus a year or two. I think it is pretty hideous and there are too many umpire cards, but when I think about what it would have been like to collect it out of packs - or to see the first cards out of the pack that early spring of '55, it would have been pretty interesting.
