About 4 and a half years ago, when I was getting back into the hobby, I quickly decided that I wanted to complete a signed postwar era set. I narrowed it down to a few finalists (1953, 1956, 1957, 1959, 1960, 1961 and1967), and sent some singles out from each TTM. As they came back, I was struck by the detail of the oil paintings of the 1953s, and, being a history dork, the amount of it the men had lived through (Wayne Terwilliger was a Marine who landed at Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima; Mickey Grasso was captured by the Germans at Kasserine Pass and spent two years as a POW, etc). It was also the last set to feature the Boston Braves, as the move was announced after the first two series were printed. I picked that as the set to complete and never looked back. As a Red Sox fan, my only gripe is there is no Ted Williams, because of Korea.
