Default 1956 Topps Set Possibly for Sale

I just completed my 1956 Topps set and I'm considering selling it if the price is right. It is mostly raw Ex/Ex+ condition, with the major stars SGC graded.

I am also currently working on another '56 Topps set, all SGC graded 84 or better and, if the price is right, would sell my raw set to fund the graded set.

Please don't mistake my desire to sell the set for my need to sell the set. That is certainly not the case and I'm not going to give it away. However, I will sell it for a fair price.

I looked on eBay at completed listing and found this...

The condition seems to be about the same as mine, but the one on eBay is missing the 2/4 checklist and mine includes the 2/4 checklist. The one on eBay is all raw, but my major stars are graded so there won't be any surprises like hidden creases, trimming, erasure marks, etc. The one on eBay went for $3800, so I would need to get at least that at a minimum.

Many of the other HOFers in my set were graded as well, but I cracked them out to enjoy them raw. I saved the flips and will include them with the set.

Here are some of the graded stars...
