'56 Topps set needs (commons/minors)
 
I've been meaning to post this for awhile, and Waffle's bump reminded me to.

Howard helped get me closer to completing my '56 set, and now I'm down to 23 left. It's all commons and minors. Hoping that someone might have a fairly large chunk of these, but any responses are welcome.

Anything from low grade to mid grade. Looking to spend the standard $1-2 each in low grade, around $3 each in VG-VG/EX, or up to $5 each for sharper Ex

I'd request that any inquiries go to Waffle first at the moment (since his bump preceded this), and I'll take the leftovers!

List needed:

24 Dick Groat
88 Johnny Kucks
176 Alex Kellner
177 Hank Bauer
183 Stan Lopata
184 Don Bessent
190 Carl Furillo
201 Rip Repulski
255 Bob Lemon
257 Bobby Thomson
268 Dale Mitchell
275 Jim Greengrass
276 George Zuvernik
286 Bill Wight
288 Bob Cerv
297 Bob Skinner
306 Curt Roberts
307 Hoyt Wilhelm
308 Chuck Harmon
309 Don Blasingame
326 Connie Johnson
328 Preston Ward
329 Lou Berberet

WHAT HOW DARE YOU

I'm just kidding. I actually may have a few of these, so let me take a look and I will get back to you!

Any requirements on condition or back color or anything of the sort?

:D

Back color doesn't matter. Basically anything that would get a number grade, up to around Ex+ (low to mid-grade, doesn't matter, my set is all over the place). Just wanted people to know that it's not a spot where I'm interested in getting slabbed grade 6 minors for 30 bucks or higher grade commons; doing this set economically.

I have extras of at least a few of yours too, but would have to check and see if they're grey backs and at least VG. My '56 doubles have been bottom priority to get organized, but this would be an excuse to finally do it.

In my case, VG+ is kind of a baseline idea. I just want it to have eye appeal - it's going into a binder, for crying out loud! - so VG is kind of where I put it to give people an idea. If it's G and just doesn't have outrageous creases and such, too, that's fine.

When I finished the 1960 Topps set, my Hank Aaron had a little paper loss on the back but the front looked great. It's a balance, you know?

I'll look at your list and my box and PM you tonight
