It's the first vintage set I've tried to put together. Honestly, it may be the only one I ever do, as the others I'd really be interested in are well out of my price range.
At the end of the day, it's all about fun!

That '55 Topps AA is a really great set. That is one that I wouldn't mind building. However, I am having trouble deciding where I want to start. I am thinking about (in no particular order):
1. '55 Topps All-American
2. '52 Bowman (probably small--really like the color and team logos)
3. '64 Philly (very affordable, plain design but I like it)
4. '61 Fleer (I really like those Fleer designs...especially the team logos)
5. '56 Topps
6. '68 Topps
I also am intrigued by '57 and '58 Topps.
I am new to this and am overwhelmed because so many of the sets are so doable. I know I just need to get in somewhere and go. You guys make all of them look so appealing. I could build most of the 60s stuff (not '65) in pretty high grade. Even some of the '50s stuff I could do decent mid-grade.
Somebody focus me, please!
