Presented here is a nice partial set of 1956 Topps Baseball, with nearly a dozen Hall of Famers, including Sandy Koufax, Yogi Berra, Bob Feller, Robin Roberts, Richie Ashburn, Enos Slaughter and Red Schoendienst, and several stars and minor stars included and a nice, consistent mostly Very Good to Excellent overall condition, with a bit of duplication noted below. The grouping, approximately 65 percent of a complete set, is largely Very Good to Excellent, with almost 20 cards reaching Ex-Mt and a similar number falling below that range mostly to Good.
