1956 Topps - COMPLETE!


What a beautiful set, classic. Didn't end on a HOFer this time as I attacked the big cards first. Funny which cards sometimes come last...this time was #219 Lew Burdette. As with my other over sized 50's sets, I have left a few SGC graded - Mickey Mantle, Harmon Killebrew, Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax, Hank Aaron and Jackie Robinson...I may even send in a couple others like my Mays and Ted W. I place reprints in the binder...

Just need 1954 Topps Al Kaline and Jackie Robinson to complete my 54-90 run!

Last card -

Congrats, John. Quote an impressive Topps run you have there.

Starting a 1963 Topps Peel-Off set.

Small set that is within my budget.

Question - Do they fit in either 12 or 15 pocket pages?
The 12 pocket looks like it might be a bit too small.

Thanks!

I took some time off from serious set completion work over the last year or so but came back to it in May. I've knocked off about 15 1967 Topps hi #s and and am down to seven. I lost out on a couple over the weekend but I've got snipes in on three more so hopefully I can get lucky once or twice.

I was sitting at three missing 1962 Post Cereal cards but found a couple of reasonable ones this morning and had offers accepted. Down to just Gary Geiger to finish off the set. I had intended to be a 'completest' and try to collect all the small variations but I think I'll drop that goal and work on finishing the '62 Green Tints.

After that I'll think about my low-key set chases, '67 Philly Gum, '75 Topps minis and the '61 Topps stamps. I haven't given them much thought at all recently and they can wait although I'm sure I'll get them done at some point. None are tough to find items, it's just a matter of doing the work.

They're 1/8" too tall to fit in 12-pocket pages, so I simply put mine in penny sleeves and use 9-pocket pages for them. Have fun with your new project!
