Someone mentioned the recycled head shots from 1954-56. Yes, that gets old in a hurry, but the action shots on the '56s are a bit of a saving grace most of the time. Definitely my favorite of those three years. That was the only vintage set I went after as a youngster, and I'm sure glad I did it when things were still cheap. Although I haven't collected unsigned cards in about 35 years, I will die with those '56s. I rarely look at them, but like knowing they're there. I'd have gone after the '57s as well, but had a kid-sized budget and just happened to land face first into the '56 Mantle via a trade, so the decision was almost made for me by that lone acquisition.
