I was just going through my '56 set and, like many others in this poll, think it is the best Topps set ever. The action shots are they key. Sure, there are a lot of pitchers following through on the sidelines, but then you get game-action follow through shots like Koufax and Ford. Lots of home plate collisions and double play breakups. Imagine if Topps had featured the action shot on each card and relegated the bust shot to the background. '53 Bowman . . . please move over.
What's your favorite card in the set? I like the Jackie Robinson with a steal of home in the background.
