A number of years ago I put together a 1955 Topps set. For the most part the stars were in better condition because I knew I would focus on these more in the future as well as the fact that I purchased many lots of commons and was just trying to complete the set.
The key stars (to me at least) were the ones I focused on condition. Clemente and Koufax rookies, Jackie Robinson and Ted Williams to be precise. This was my first venture into vintage cards and had never owned any cards of these (my favorites) players before this so I didn't just want any old worn out used card. I wanted the cards I dreamed of owning in my youth to look like the ones in my dreams.
