Hollywood42, welcome aboard. As your collecting budget is limited, I suggest you also keep your eyes open for SCG-graded and BVG-graded cards, because one can frequently find nicer condition cards in these slabs for less $$ than PSA-graded cards.
I assume the reason "Killer" doesn't appear in the 1957 Topps set is that he spent almost the entire year at Chattanooga. I believe that Senators' management decided very early, well before spring training began, that this was best for Killebrew From everything I have ever read about Killebrew, he was one heckuva nice guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him once, at a large card show roughly 25-30 years ago. After his signing session ended, rather than disappearing, he walked the aisles of the show for 1.5-2 hours, chatting with any and all dealers and collectors who cared to chat with him. He couldn't have been more friendly and pleasant, which made me wish I hadn't been so negative about him when he first joined the Senators (my team) as a "big bonus baby." His signing bonus was so large that the MLB rules at that time required the Senators to keep him on their MLB roster for a couple of years as a penalty, rather than letting him get the minor league seasoning he needed. He seldom got to play the first few years, and he struck out a lot. I felt Killebrew would never amount to much, probably because my heroes were the singles hitters who batted .300, probably because my dad considered it a sin to strike out.

Thanks for the posts, everyone. I unfortunately am too young to have seen Killebrew play in person, but have heard nothing but good things about him

Here is another reason to admire Killebrew that is relevant to collectors. I think this echos what others have said about him. Good, quick read.
