Oh, wow, Ted. I didn't know you wrote that. I used to go to the local baseball card shop in Waukesha, and buy Baseball Cards Magazine each time I'd buy some packs, or a box of Topps wax packs. That was one of my favorite articles to ever appear in the magazine.

If I can continue to find PSA 5's and 6's like these, I'll be a happy set builder.

I've thought about the set in passing but don't care to collect commons, so I never went for it. I've had these since I was a kid:
   Got the Musial signed about 25 years ago. Last year I didn't like the way things were going with prices so I picked up this one:  I think clean vg or signed is where I will land on this set   I am in the minority for the set in terms of fronts. I prefer the 1957 design for the ID data. If only the 1957 could have had the 1953 caliber pictures to go with it...

Adam - Nice stuff. The stark wordless nature of the 53B make them appear more like a photograph than a baseball card. Tru dat.
However; there is something uniquely ethereal about these images. No other set I can compare it too relative to coloration, poses, camera angles and concise era-relative content. Simple perfection. Great thread. RayB

Nice cards, Adam. Certainly an issue that works nicely with signatures!
as far as the 57s, I am in that minority as well. Love the design and the "darkness" that others seem to notice. Kind of sets it apart from the Topps and Bowman issues that preceded and proceeded the set

This card is the only member of the set I currently own, but I am thinking about beginning again. I honestly wouldn't mind finding a centered mid-grade Mantle right off the bat.

Is it me, or is the 9 in the 59 on back colored in?
