The 1953 Topps set would be a great one to collect for star power, except that it's missing Duke Snider [as noted]. 1952 Bowman is a great one, too, but as also noted, no Jackie Robinson. No matter which Bowman or Topps set you choose, you have to give up certain stars in exchange for others.
If you wanna cheat a bit by considering a multi-year issue [or issues], then I think the 1947-66 Exhibit set is just about the best coverage you can get. Every major star covered by Topps between 1952-56 and 1950-55 Bowman that I can think of is in that set. But it's not *really* a 50's issue.
Regards,
Richard.
