It is fascinating the way different people view things. 56 Mantle is in my all time top 5 favorite and maybe #1.

 1955 may have been the year my folks got our first (b&w) TV set.  Perhaps this is why I have always liked the 1955 Bowmans.  Bowman cards weren't available where I bought my cards as a kid, but I was able to get some from my buddies via trades.  IMHO, the 1955 Bowman Mantle is a much nicer looking card!
