Nice pickups. Showcases why 1956 topps is my favorite set, too. They still have a ton of eye appeal even in lesser condition.

After going a couple of months without adding any new items to my Billy Williams collection, last three weeks have been very good for picking up items! Have a couple more very low pop items that should be here end of the week!

Nice pick ups. Billy is one hell of an underrated ballplayer. And not just saying that because I'm a Cubs fan...

Missed these the first time. Really nice pickups. Legendary players from a classic set.

Thanks!

When I first seen the card, back in January, when I joined the site, I had to have one!

I PM'd a couple members who had one in their lots but in both cases both were sold

I had been searching until then until I finally found one that I was able to win.

When I did some research on the card, prior to getting one, I learned it was the only card that Mick and Hank ever appeared on together.
When I found that out, my obsession to obtain one increased that much more.

Also - while not perfect - yours seems to be mostly free from the print defect problem that plagues so many of those cards. I've seen PSA 7's where snow covers both player's faces and makes the card downright ugly. Amazing the sole importance sharp corners holds for some people...
