Well, I just wanted to update the thread, as I have now actually gone through everything, and made my decision. (Which was pretty easy actually, after seeing what all was there.)
This wasn't just the 2 sets...but an entire collection. so last night, I had a chance to look over everything. Ill post it below, as I don't think it needs its own thread.
1956 Topps- Complete set I chose this set, mainly because I just love the overall look, but more importantly it was my Uncle that was putting together this set about 30 years ago, and he would take me to card shows as a kid..to find these cards. (As it was pre internet days) So, there is sentimental value here more than anything. What I didn't know, previous to now was that he also had a shoebox full of duplicates/triples of a lot of the cards. When I found the box, I assumed that it would be doubles/triples of commons. There were 220 extra 1956 cards in the shoebox including (2) Hank Aarons, (2) Ted Williams, (2) Ernie Banks (3) Sandy Koufax and one extra card #135..Mickey Mantle!
I'm not well versed in graded cards, so don't want to assume on condition..but it looks like, he was putting together a set, and then upgrading as he found nicer examples. (I would guess most of them to be between 3-5, with a few that might be able to pull a 6 or 7) but fortunetly for me, it looks like when he was upgrading.....without selling/trading the previous lower grade card. (Just moving them to the final resting place...the shoe box) But pics are provided.....
