The Bubblegum wars, do make for great reading, but I am a little upset we never got certain players in certain sets.

Like Stan Musial. He's one of the best players out there, for whom there are really few truly good cards. Sure, he's on a few Bowmans, what I'd give for a 56, 53 or 52 Topps card of him.

I collect 1953 Bowman. That set is already an all-timer, but would be on an entirely other level with Mays, Robinson, Paige, Banks, and Ted Williams (to name a few). Between the card wars and the Korean War, there are a lot of fantastic sets in the early 1950s that are missing 5-6 key players.
