Default agree - 1957 vs 1958

Long ago I did a run of Topps sets all the way back to 1956, but I could never bear to spend money on the 1958s - I kept putting it off. And then I started selling my sets to make money for prewar cards, and never did do it. On the other hand, The 1957 set is the only one I have always kept because it's so beautiful.

The comedown in Topps quality between these two years was horrendous!

The colors pop magnificently and have aged so nicely over the decades. And the backgrounds work so well with the jerseys.
