1956
Joe--are you a PSA graded collector ? If so and you are seeking a master set I would use their master checklist on their web site. If not, collect the set the way you like, Some collectors do the different backs, Some do only back differences beyond color. Some do only front variations. It's a matter of personal choice so be your own boss. I have the 56 set and chose not to do the gray/white backs, but did do all the team card front differences. The other oddities I added to my set are:
Card 108 Pepper can be found with a green or brown blob at his shoulder (written up in SCD)
Card 263 Miller with the green boxes around stats on back missing...recurring
Card 323 Schmidt with the number 7, games lost on back, missing...recurring ( written up in SCD)
Card 212 Temple with blob by ear or airbrushed out...recurring
There are numerous cards with different colored lines above the players or team name on the front. I have seen some lists of these but believe a lot of cards in the set can be found this way
