In fact offhand I can't think of any other Topps' set from 1957 or earlier that included a Checklist. The Planes set might therefore be where Checklists were first introduced.

1956 was the first year for Checklist by Topps, and as you have posted elsewhere they went wild in 1957 with all kinds of checklists and contest cards, all of which might have been separate printings with none of them on the actual card sheets.
