Overrated / Underrated / Favorite / Least Favorite (OUFLF)

[Seven]

Overrated: 1954 topps.

I think the artwork is fine, I don't like how the cards are cut however and nothing outside of Aaron is particularly interesting to me from the set. I think Bowman's 1954 set is far superior.

Underrated: 1952 Berk Ross.

I love this set of cards. It has a hell of a selection of players, and even though prices have climbed a bit, It's not too well known of a set so it's still affordable.

Favorite: 1954 Red Heart and 1951 Bowman

Very hard to choose the favorite, so I chose two. 1952 topps is up there for me as well, especially since I started working on the set but the artwork from the 1954 Red Heart and 1951 Bowman puts them both above the 1952 set for me.

Least Favorite: 1955 Bowman

Solely because we were robbed of a Mantle in the beautiful 1955 art style, and while the tv set has grown on me, I still can't bring myself to fully like it.

Did you mean Topps?

I realized my explanation wasn't particularly clear on this one, but yes more or less. Because of the whole contract situation with players and the card companies back then, and Mantle being with Bowman, we were deprived of a 1955 topps card of his, in that art style, was what I was trying to say.
