This would be my choice too, or 1956 if you want a Mantle. Picking between 1954 and 1953, it would be 1954 easy. The Aaron RC is the one essential card out of the two sets, plus you have Kaline and Banks RCs and two Ted Williams vs Mantle, Feller, Campy and Paige.

I have never been a fan of the artwork. Is that really Whitey Ford? Compare his 1951 Bowman to the 1953 Topps. Bowman artwork 1950-52 was far superior in my opinion.

53 is my favorite all time set.
The art is incredible, its the best image of Jackie, Gilliam, Ford and arguably Mickey.

Also 54 does not have Stachel or Campanella (my fave card of all time)
Other than the Mays where the pose seems out of place it is 53 for me hands down

However, there are some 1953 commons that can be pricey for the player and that is something to consider I suppose.

Good luck and have fun

1954 Topps for sure as there is the Banks and Aaron rookie cards
