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 ?

So excluding all Topps and Bowman issues, and limiting it to sets kids were actually collecting in the 50's makes the question a little more dicey. Since my family apparently didn't much go for pre-packaged meat, the only regional issue I ever saw in the I-like-Ike years was Johnston Cookie cards, which is strange in itself because they are supposed to be regional to Wisconsin, but I was in upstate NY. So, I guess my vote goes to the cards from Redman Tobacco that my old man used to chew to annoy the stuff out of my mom.
