I’ll give some love to the 1950 Bowman, which somehow hasn’t had any on this thread. It is a throwback to an earlier era of cards, the art is spectacular, the cards are affordable in decent condition, and there’s one iconic card of Jackie Robinson for good measure.
1953 Bowman Color. If you’ve ever seen them in person, you understand.
1956 Topps. A bridge across eras. You have the last of Jackie, Feller and Rizzutto, but you also have young Aaron, Koufax, and Clemente. The young stars aren’t rookies, so you can get the entire set in decent condition without breaking the bank
1971 Topps. Who doesn’t love the black borders.
1964 Topps giants. Big, beautiful, and available in great condition
