56 is an easy answer but I just love that set. I put it together card by card. 342 is the perfect number. Not too big like the 572-726 card behemoths but not too small. 10% HOFers. Last Feller card. Good mix of legends and upstarts. Great poses. Arguably the best Clemente and Mantle cards. It was the first year after the Bowman buyout so finally all the best from both set. The last of the oversized cards. Team cards for the first time.
I spent a year and a half on this set and I feel like I have every card memorized. I have sets that are more valuable but none that I love quite like ‘56

My favorite Topps is 1954. The only thing I don't like about it is no Mantle. 1956 is a close second for sure.

56 for sure.
It is the most beautiful set by far to me. Another good thing about it for the budget collector is that there are no major rookies to break the bank over, just the Mantle. I love the 54 and 55 sets too, but the Aaron and Clemente rookies make them unobtainable in a condition I can live with.
