Opinion on 1950's Baseball Sets

[The Nasty Nati]

I appreciate all of the helpful feedback. Apologies for posting this on the wrong forum, is there a way for me to change that now?

In terms of what appeals to me most I would definitely have to go with the ’56 Topps and ’52 Bowman. I love the action shots in the ’56 and the artwork in the ’52 Bowman are something else. I’m guessing price-wise the 1952 Bowman will probably be a little high.

Based off some of the feedback, it looks like 1956 Topps may be the best bet, although I never considered collecting outside of Bowman and Topps but the ’54 Red Hearts that were mentioned are pretty nice looking.

I’ve been collecting T206s for about a year now, and will continue to collect from that set, but I like the idea of collecting from an era that my Dad grow up collecting as a kid. Unfortunately, like most, his mom threw out all of his 50s baseball cards. I grew up collecting cards in the 90s and unlike my Dad I actually wished my mom had thrown those out.
