Either or
I find both sets very attractive. I have been acquiring any cards from both sets for the past 15 years or so in the UK. To date I have 11 C55 and 2 C56. The two 56 cards are Lester Patrick and the other is no 36 Lalonde. I also have gone for the hockey players in the itc lacrosse set. In doing so I have ended up with approx 120 lacrosse cards from the 3 itc sets.
If I was pushed it would be the C56 but only by a thin margin. Which ever you choose I am sure you will enjoy the chase

First post here... :-)
I own both set, the C55 and C56... I prefer a lot more the C55 because of the work that was put in it and bright colors... From what I know, it seem that the C55 should had been the first set but it took so much time to design and create the printing stone that Imperial tobacco had to put together the C56 set quickly to meet some the distribution dateline. You can see the difference in the quality of the work... BTW I have full c56 set to sale on Ebay right now... :-) Regards Francis

Welcome Francis!
Yes, it seems like I'm really leaning towards the C55; have about 10 of them so far (all commons.) I have them in a 15 pocket tobacco page, and they really look good grouped together.
