I can relate. 1955 Topps is one of my favorite sets, but it feels incomplete without Hofers like Mantle. I decided to go with 1953 Bowman over the ugly 1955 Bowman to go along with the set. It also gives me a Stan Musial as well as Ralph Kiner on the Pirates instead of Indians.

The Dormand Post Card is an option that's a possibility. I think it's a combination of the fact that 55 Bowman just doesn't look nice, and the fact that in my opinion the 55 Topps set is one of the best looking sets of the 50's.

Thanks for the suggestions
