Fairly consistent EX-MT overall 1956 Topps set with most cards appearing to be in the EX+ to NM range. About 40% of the cards do have a bit of curving which we think might be caused by contact with water. HOWEVER there is NO STAINING. The #5 Ted Williams was like this and received an EX-MT PSA 6 grade. We sent 12 of the more expensive cards to PSA for grading to give an idea of the condition. They are: #5 Williams EX-MT PSA 6 20 Kaline EX PSA 5 30 Robinson NM PSA 7 31 Aaron NM PSA 7 33 Clemente EX-MT PSA 6 79 Koufax NM PSA 7 113 Rizzuto EX PSA 5 130 Mays EX PSA 5 135 Mantle EX PSA 5(MK)(tiny 4.00 in pencil on back) 240 Ford NM PSA 7 251 Yankees Team NM PSA 7 260 Reese EX-MT PSA 6. Other keys are: #1 Harridge EX+ 8 Alston EX-MT 10 Spahn EX-MT 15 Banks EM/NM 101 Campanella EX-MT(OC) 107 Mathews EX-MT 110 Berra EX-MT(MC) 145 Hodges EX+/EM 150 Snider EX-MT 164 Killebrew EX-MT 166 Dodgers EX-MT 200 Feller VG+ 292 Aparicio EM/NM 332 Larsen EM/NM. Missing #299.

The 12 graded cards alone have an SMR value of over $2500.
