In my opinion the most scarce series of BB cards in the post-WWII era are the 49 cards issued in the Summer of 1949 by the LEAF GUM Co.

Agree with Ted for 50s sets. Ironically, the Mantles, Thompsons and Robinsons are the easiest to find from that series. Not the cheapest, but easiest to find. And that series is easier to find than cards 131 to 180 in gray backs

Except the question in the title is "Post 50s" which would mean 60-73... ;-)

we give the old folks a bit of latitude

I'd go with '66 Topps. The short prints were brutal, and while it's not the entire series I just found them tougher than '67 overall.

I would rank 1967, 1966, and 1961 as the toughest. If I stumble across any 67 highs in nice shape and reasonably priced, I'm usually buying. That doesn't happen very often at local shows or the card shop though.

Good point John

Anthony has had a lot of practice giving me leeway over the years

So now I will go with Lou. We have to be flexible in old age

I would agree with this. I would also add the 1963 6th series (semi highs). I think it was regional. The 66s were easier for me than the 67s. The 61s and 63s were the toughest for me.
