These are the postwar sets I have completed. The white notebook titled "Baseball" is a 1950 Bowman set which I bought from Mastro a few years ago and which was carefully mounted "Lionel Carter style". I was born in '50 so it has a special meaning for me. My favorite set of the bunch is the '53 Topps . Gotta love the artwork. Strong contender for favorite otherwise is the '57 Topps set. These were the cards that I first collected as a kid. When I got married in 2003 I made up another '57 set in an MJ Roop binder and gave it to my best man for standing up for me. Blew his mind.
As for other postwar sets I might want to collect either 1954 or '56 Topps have an appeal. Those beautiful '52s are like a postwar T206 set, a mini-Monster I think I'll steer clear of for the moment.
(That's 98 per cent of a T3 set on the shelf above in case anybody wondered).
