Default Just finished my first HoF set...and wanted to share!
Because my wife looks at me with a glossy eyed expression when I talk about it with her lol. So about 9 months or so ago, maybe 12 months, I started to pick up some nicely centered and high eye appeal Hall of Famers from the 50s. So I picked up some nice cards and a couple were a 1956 Jackie Robinson and then a Sand Koufax... and then I decided to do the 1956 Topps PSA Hall of Fame set.
I have never had the patience to put together a huge run or set. The only time I have ever been successful in putting together a set/run was when I collected comics and put together a Thor run from 126-502. I kept it about a month lol
So, anywhoo, I got the last card I needed in today...a PeeWee Reese. For some reason this card took me about 2 months to find in PSA 4-5, with decent centering as there just wasnt any that came up on eBay.
So, without further delay...

Nicely done, I started the 56 set once and gave up pretty quickly. I'm glad you were able to stay focused.

Wow sweet looking 56 HOF run, congrats !! I've always loved the 56 Topps Set. Favorites are the the Clemente and Williams gray backs.

I agree. The more 56 Topps cards I see the more I like them.
