Ultra Pro pages for '56 Topps
 

Sorry for a mundane thread, but I have lost the ability to think. I have seen '56 Topps baseball cards in a binder in 8 pocket horizontal pages. However, I have the rare ability to take a simple thing and make it complex...including basic math apparently. The dimensions of the cards are 2 5/8 X 3 3/4. The 8 pocket ultra pros I see advertised for 1956 Topps have the dimensions of 3 1/2 x 2 3/4. This doesn't seem right. Perhaps my brain is even more tired than I thought, but aren't these pages that are said to work for 1952-1956 Topps too small? I have also seen a few pages sized 2 3/4 x 3 7/8. That seems more likely to work...right?

Can't say yea or nay on Ultra Pro, but we use BCW pages for our '50s binders and those fit just fine.
We do recommend keeping at least the two cards on each page's top row in pennysleeves inside the page pockets, though,
as they tend to sometimes wiggle upward just a bit and expose the cards' top edges.

52 to 56
 

I have these Topps sets and the 53 to 55 Bowman sets. They all fit nicely in the 8 pocket Ultra Pro sheets. I hate math so I never consider it if at all possible

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Now that I have had time to think about it, if I opt to use a binder I am going to go with the slightly larger pockets- the 3 7/8 ones.
