From Original Owner! The offered 1956 Topps Baseball complete set of (340) cards was pieced together by our Michigan-based consignor as a boy and carefully stored in the decades since. This high-caliber edition is a prime opportunity for the savvy cardboard investor as significant third-party grading potential is found within. The overall approximate condition breakdown for this “giant size” edition is as follows: 15% (NM or better), 40% (EX-MT), 25% (EX) and 20% (VG-EX or lesser) with the lower end primarily caused by errant centering common to the issue. Keys include: #1 Harridge (colored upper left corner), #2 Giles (VG-EX), #5 T. Williams (EX-MT), #10 Spahn (EX-MT), #15 Banks (EX-MT), #20 Kaline (EX-MT), #25 Kluszewski (EX-MT), #30 J.
