1956 or 1957 Topps? Which would you choose?
I am new to collecting vintage, and came to Net54 looking for expert opinions and to educate myself in said subject. So, if this question is too mundane, I apologize in advance.
If you were to be "gifted" a complete set of 1956 Topps, or 1957 Topps and both sets were of similar condition...which would you choose? Which one is more desirable? And why?
This is basically a real case scenario for me, and right now I am having to choose. If I understand correctly, from what I have read, the 1957 set might actually be valued a little higher.However, I am absolutely in love with the overall design of the 56' set. I am not really concerned with a $$$ value, as these were a family members cards being passed onto me. So either way, they're not something I would ever sell or trade. So, Its just going to come down to personal preference.
I would love to hear open and honest opinions from experienced collectors, as far as pros and cons, and/or why you prefer one set over the other. Sell me on one or the other. I am open to any and all comments/opinions. Thanks!
