For me, it is the 53 set, hands down. I love the artwork more than any other set from 53 on...I especially like the background work in the signs and scoreboards which shows players names in it (many collectors don't know that).
That's not to say that 54 isn't beautiful in its own right, but 53 is "it" for me. In the end, it really doesn't matter what I and the rest of this great forum think, it comes down to what YOU like best. JT

I think the '53 set is so much better looking that you can almost ignore who the players are. Satchel Paige is a pretty nice bonus though.

53 is one of the best sets ever made in my opinion. 54 is pretty amazing, has more color, and has a huge rookie in Aaron and another great one in Kaline. A lot of people seem turned off by the lack of a top border (not to mention no Mantle). Tough call for most I assume but I think it has to be 53.

1953 for sure. My main reason would be Paige and the best (IMO) image of Jackie.

Tough choice, but I’ve got to lean toward 1953.

54. The Banks rookie is a work of art.

I understand what you mean.
But somedays I'm convinced that the 1953 is the right choice, and somedays I'm convinced the 1954 is the right choice. Quote:
