Welcome aboard! Is there any set, player, decade etc that interests you? 50's to 70's is a fairly broad range. What condition cards? Low, mid or high range?

If I was just starting out to get my feet wet in a set build these are the three I would build from each of the three decades and why.

50's would be 1956 topps. A beautiful set with no hard hi numbers or major rookies to get. Also 10% of set is HOFers. Only major star not in there is Musial but still has a few mega stars late in their career like J. Robinson, Campanella, Feller and Williams but also includes younger stars still starting out in their greatness like Aaron, Banks, Clemente, Koufax, Kaline and Killebrew.

60's would be probably 1964. In my opinion it has a nice clean look to it and from what I understand it doesn't bog you down with tough hi number like some others. (Note: I have not personally built any set from the 60's yet so most of my info is opinion and what I've read other, more experienced collectors say)

70's would be 1975. Great colors. Great rookies. Not crazy expensive. Also there seems to be a lot of people collecting them so trading seems to be easier.

All of this to say welcome and enjoy. I look forward to seeing you around here and getting to know smother enthusiast.
