Jeff -- I guess I slightly prefer 1956 Topps over 1955 because it is a larger set (340 vs. 206 cards), and has Mickey Mantle in the set, plus I like the action scenes in the background.

Many years ago I had complete Topps sets from 1953 through 1956, plus a good portion of 1952. I always thought those were the nicest looking Topps issues, I guess mainly because of the artwork. But I don't collect them now, having been there and done that in my previous collecting lives. Since I got back in the hobby last year I have focused more on pre-war material -- mainly T206 and 1933 Goudey. I am definitely a sucker for the all-time classics.
