Addendum: Minimum bid increased slightly from catalog. Nine cards recently came back from PSA with grades.
Offered here is a very well-maintained 1956 Topps Baseball complete set of 340 not including the two rare unnumbered checklist cards. Fresh to the hobby this beautiful set ranges mostly from EX to NM condition in our opinion with some faring better or worse. Most cards have retained their original gloss and crisp white to off-white borders. Overall the set exhibits minimal handling.
