Default !951-52 Berk Ross Set

This set has always mildly fascinated me. it seems to be the stepchild of Bowmans and the fresh "52 Topps. I do hold a few HOF'ers and am considering adding a few more. Like any set there are pros and cons.
Pros:
1. They are cheaper in general than Bowmans and certainly Topps.
2. All the star players of the day are there with the RCs of Ben Hogan and Bob Cousey, which are highly undervalued.
3. Their values are starting to rise, particularly the Jackie and Mickey.
4, There are many great poses not shown on other cards eg., Reese.
Cons:
1, I believe the cards originally came in 2 card panels, which some collectors might feel detract.
2. They do not seem to be as plentiful as the Bowmans.
I love the Williams card but am less keen on the Mantle and Mays.
