I'll eventually be collecting all the 50's sets so whether Mickey is in the set or not doesn't matter to me. I do try to pick up the Mantle towards the beginning of collecting a set.
It sounds like you maybe want to have a Mantle in the set you're working on. I could be wrong there, but that's what I'm hearing when I read your initial post. I'd go with the 1956 set personally. It has a really cool Mantle and isn't that terribly big of a set, although bigger than the 250 card 1954 set you're already working on. Whatever you choose, I wish you the best on your journey.
