Favorite set from the 50's?

[mainerunr]

I'd have to say mine is probably '53 Bowman Color.

I'd post the Rizzuto I used to have but...I no longer have it, one of my roommate's friends felt the need to walk off with it back in college.

1956 Topps....Had a Mantle years ago that was probably an 8. Sold it in the early 90's for $500.

Probably my second favorite looking set from the Era

Mine would have to be a close call between 1953 Bowman Color (awesome photography) and 1953 Topps....just a classic design.

I would say 57 is mine

I love the 1959 set. Has such print-bubble issues those.

-Bowman Color is strong, but i was always fond of the 1955 Topps. On even the bad condition cards, those colors pop every time i see one.

Lots of good sets during that decade, but those are two of my favorites...today.

lobo_hacker, one day hoping to grab all the base Mantles from this decade while simultaneously not making his wife divorce him for wasting so much money

Love the 50's cards. '54,55,56,58,59 Topps are all awesome. Color bowman too from '51, 53

Always liked 58 topps

[KEARYCOLBERT83]

Im with 58&59 as the best back to back sets made

I like the Red Man Tobacco set. 1953 Topps is very nice as well.

My favorite set from Topps is the 1958 set. Building the set and its a joy to look at them!!

1955 Bowman

I'd have to go with the 55 set. Something about those cards just makes me want to buy them every time I see them!

The square'ish format sets them apart from other cards. Images are a mix of art and photography. No player or brand names are needed. Details on the back are very different from today's cards, often referencing the player's military service.

The 1950 set is full of HOFers, especially Browns :)!

1955 Topps All American football

1954 Wilson Franks

1957 Topps BB, good rookies and hofs here IMO, plus I believe was this the first year career stats were featured on the back??

[Postman]

1956 Topps. I love the look of them.

Great minds think alike I am doing that set in PSA 5 condition and love it. I have the Pee Wee Reese and it is one of my favorite cards

[lindeman79]

Either 54 or 55 topps baseball!

[supercards2012]

1956 Topps....Had a Mantle years ago that was probably an 8. Sold it in the early 90's for $500.

No way it was an 8. I'm just saying.
