What to do??

[Big Six]

Personally, I'd rather have the '54, '56, '57 and '59 sets...I find '52 to be overrated. Also suggest you look at earlier issues or a Bowman '53 set to change things up...

I agree. Personally I am slowly working on the 1956 set, but If I chose another it would be the 1954 set, the big 3 rookies in there, plus it is a lot easier because of not too many cards in the set, plus for some reason I do not like the design of the 1952 cards, 1954, 1955, 1956 has more eye candy IMO. Of course, like they say collect what you like, cause somebody will likely have a different opinion.

I really agree with you on the 1956 set. With Bowman out of the way, Topps had the field to themselves, and they made sure to come up with a winner. The last of their giant-sized cards. Great design--a nice combination of head shots with painted action photos. Maybe there aren't lots of rookies, but that can be over-rated. The key is they're simply beautiful cards. There's NOTHING ugly about these; they're gorgeous. The introduction of team cards was a sweet addition. Wish Don Drysdale and Stan Musial had been included, but no set is perfect.

I think you're on the right track. Salute. ---Brian Powell
