The 56 Topps set is the greatest looking baseball set of all time. The Clemente is card porn.

I like the 56's but to me they start to look too similar after a while with the portraits dominating. 57 has such great photography to boot.

57 hands down. Especially all the ones posed on grass or with the dugout as background.

The ones with ghosts in the background are the best.

I love both sets, but the '56 is one of my favorite Topps issues of all-time, so I'd have to go with that.

I could see how everything is one way or the other, as both sets are really nice, but they are both so different.
I will vote for 1956, the bigger cards, the player selection and the artwork are fantastic.

The 1957, however, has the Brooks RC, one of the my favorite cards.

1957 for me, great set, great photography, tremendous rookies. I certainly like the 1956 set but to me the 1957 set is the best of the 50s.

I like the 57's way better. Besides the 55 Bowman set I do not care for the horizontal cards.
