But my vote is still for the 1953's. Beautiful set all the way through, but I agree it's missing names on the front.
Slightly OT - Is there a more significant group of sets for our hobby than what Bowman put out in 1948? (Baseball, Football & Basketball)

I love the 54s and will one day put a set of them together. Great looking cards, great HoF list of players, and of course the Ted Williams is a famous card in the hobby.
I am beginning to toy with the idea of putting the 53 set together. If not the entire set then the HoFers.
It is such an aesthetically pleasing set. Just great photography. The Mantle is of course a biggie but it really doesnt break the bank in the VG/EX range.
