Pin the winning bid to this exciting collection of (57) 1956 Topps baseball pins. An early Topps foray into the oddball issue realm, these 1-1/8” diameter pins feature the same photos that are seen on their cardboard counterparts, that populate the 1956 Topps baseball card set. These vibrantly colored pins are well known for being condition sensitive, and overall this bundle is respectable, ranging (70% EX to EX-MT, 30% VG to VG-EX), with the Hall of Famers and short prints presenting on par with the balance. A complete set totals 60 different players, and this offering includes a partial set of (35/60) and (22) duplicates, with extras of Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks, “Duke” Snider, Gil Hodges, and Warren Spahn.



Featured are:



Hall of Famers (15): Jackie Robinson (2), Willie Mays (2), Ernie Banks (3), “Duke” Snider (2), Al Kaline, Gil Hodges (2), “Yogi” Berra, Warren Spahn (2);



Short Prints (2): Hector Lopez, Chuck Diering.



Balance (40): Sandy Amoros (3), Ken Boyer, Gene Conley, Dick Donovan (2), Jim Finigan, Art Fowler (3), Ruben Gomez, Jack Harshman, Jim Hegan, Bobby Hofman, Jackie Jensen, Bob Kennedy (3), Willie Miranda (2), Johnny O’Brien, Vic Power, Jim Rivera, Al Rosen, Roy Sievers (2), Bill Skowron (2), Karl Spooner, Mayo Smith, Gus Triandos (4), Bob Turley, Bill Tremel (2), Herman Wehmeier (2).
