The 1956 Topps set is my all time favorite set from any time frame of any company. This was the first set to feature checklist cards and team cards.

if it was just choose one - Topps all the way (of course the fact that I am a HUGE Clemente collector influences that choice). Imo the topps set is a btter visual representation of the 1950's. Some options:
1) Collect the Topps set and get the 55 Bowman Mantle 2) Collect the Boman set and get the Topps Clemente, Koufax and Killebrew rookies. 3) As previously suggested - do the 1956 Topps set - It is at least as good (imo) visual representation of the 50's and has a better player representation. Happy collecting! |

Since you are trying to represent eras as best you can, here's how I would look at it: If you collect the 1965 Topps set, you will have a Clemente, Koufax, and Clemente in your collection. But, you will not have a Campanella, Lemon, Rizzuto, Reese, or Feller if you avoid the Bowman, and you'll not get the Williams or Robinson if you avoid the Topps. You can collect them both (which I would recommend). Or, you could deviate and go up one year to 1956 and you can have it all.
