The last of the "over-sized" issues from Topps, the 1956 set is short on important rookie cards but strong on color and action, not to mention the popular second-year appearances of Clemente, Koufax and Killebrew and the first appearance by Elston Howard on a Topps card. With just five cards needed for completion (#36, 135 Mantle and 269, plus the checklists) and all but fifteen commons professionally graded, this is a masterful collection in extremely high grade. Over 85% of the set is graded by PSA, and a comprehensive list of each card can be found on the link to the PSA Set Registry provided on our website. However, the key cards are as follows: PSA 9 MINT (11 cards) with #31 Aaron (OC), 58 Roebuck (white back), 207 E. Howard and 307 Wilhelm. PSA 8 (229 cards) with #1 Harridge (white), 10 Spahn (white), 11 Cubs (no date, name left, white), 15 Banks (white), 33 Clemente (white), 79 Koufax (white), 95 Braves (no date, center, white), 101 Campanella (gray), 107 Mathews (gray), 110 Berra (gray), 113 Rizzuto (gray), 130 Mays (gray), 145 Hodges (gray), 150 Snider (gray), 164 Killebrew (gray), 166 Dodgers (gray), 181 Martin, 200 Feller, 240 Ford, 251 Yankees, 260 Reese, 268 Mitchell, 292 Aparicio RC, 332 Larsen and 340 McDermott.
