1951 Bowman, followed closely by the 1952 Bowman. Being a graphic designer, I just love to collect the "art" painted cards

I go with the 51, 52, 53 Bowmans as top tier. I honestly can't separate them in my preference. Looking at large groups of those cards together, they are like art.

52 and 56 Topps come right after, for me. Then 57.

There are more sets in the 50s that I love than any other decade. With that said, 51 Bowman is my clear cut favorite of the decade and of any set.

Interesting that no one picked the 1959 Fleer set. I could never get around an entire set of cards based on one player. The card design was nothing to brag about either. The photos were rather blah too. The least appealing set of the 1950s, in my opinion.

I am not surprised. To be honest, I don't think many collectors consider the 1959 Fleer a "set" (e.g. Topps, Bowman) in that it did not include the current players of the day.
