Charlie - Welcome. You've find a lot of hobby gurus on Net54 - always glad to help you out.
Thank you for sharing your passion with your son. Very Cool in so many ways!
During COVID, I sold off almost all of my vintage cards...the 1956 set remains as it was my birth year.
Though I personally prefer the design of the '54 & '55 sets, the '56 set is special not only for what I previously mentioned, but it was the last 'non-standard-size' set and includes Jackie's last card.
There are two ways to collect a vintage set: 1) purchase the entire set - and where's the fun in that? - or 2) card by card, as I did and your and your son are starting to do.
Purchasing the entire set all at once would be much cheaper, but, again - where's the fun in that?
Have a Great Time on Your Journey!
