1952-56 Topps Larger Size Cards

[jingram058]

I have only recently, like in the past few years, become a real fan of the 1952 to 1956 Topps larger size (2 and 5/8" by 3 and 3/4") cards. Frankly, I am learning that these are just beautiful cards, all 5 years. At one time I thought the 1953 cards were hideous. But I stand corrected. One of the things that got me going on 1953 is the ongoing thread on these cards. Not only are these cards great to look at, but the backs of these cards are just loaded with great info. Do any of you folks find these cards becoming among your favorites as well?
