Default 1950's Topps Sets
I grew up collecting 1950's Topps Sets. I use to receive them one series at a time from an ad in The Sporting News and local store down the street.

How many on here currently have a COMPLETE Basic Set of any of the 1951-59 Topps Sets in their current collection ?

Since we are back on the 51s, do you have the 8 that is considered complete for the current all stars or all 11?

My lone set from the '50s is 1956. If I were to start another it would be '53 or '59

I only have the 8 issued cards. The 3 unissued cards all came up a couple years ago in an auction but I came up short

I do have nice replicas of them thanks to the creativity of another board member

I don't have any of the Topps sets. I am very close to the 55 Bowman. After I finish it and a few oddball sets I might start the 53 Topps set. I like the looks of it the best out of the 50's sets.

The 1957 Topps set is one of my favorites -- I love the simple, photo-dominated design, the full stats on back, the background shots of the Polo Grounds, Ebbets Field and Yankee Stadium on nearly every card. Completing it a couple years ago was very tough with all the pricey rookie cards and that tough next-to-last series. Compared to that, finishing the 1956 set was a lot easier. I'm slowly working on 1958 now and probably 1959 after that.

Will have 57 and 58 done this year. 59 was finished this summer. I will go no further in the 50's however until college tuitions have ended.

I have had a hard time with a collecting focus and have started to focus on HOF collections of both 1956 and 1957 sets since I really like the 50s era as well as many of the sets.
