By my original question, what I meant is: back in the 50's, what were the kids collecting? After topps and bowman issues, what were the most popular sets for kids to collect in the 50's ?

Probably the hot Topps and Bowman Non Sports sets such as World On Wheels, Wings, Red Menace. There weren't any real R card national baseball sets until Fleer came along in '59 and that was just one player in the set. Maybe those little strip cards that were sold in gumball machines had some popularity?
