WTTF 1956 Topps Baseball

[kailes2872]

Slowly making progress. When it is all done, my hope is to have graded HOFers and no creases - however, at this point, I want to get the binder full and then concentrate on upgrading later.

I have doubles of Mantle in '62 & 63. I upgraded after I got mine back from PSA. My 63 PSA 6 doesn't look markedly different than my 3, but, that is why they are the pros and I am the guy that pays mint prices for VG cards...the 62 is a 3.5.

I would really like to make some good progress on the 56 commons in VG-EX to EX-MT condition. If the deal doesn't make sense for both of us, hopefully we can part as friends.




What I need:
3, 6, 12, 13, 20, 23, 25, 29, 32, 36, 39, 48, 52, 55, 59, 67, 71, 73, 77, 80, 89, 99, 104,108, 109, 111, 113, 118, 122, 126, 127, 134, 139, 144, 146, 147, 152, 153, 154, 155, 159, 161, 162, 163, 170, 172, 173, 175, 177, 178, 180, 182, 183, 185, 187, 188, 189, 191, 197, 200, 201, 204, 205, 207, 208, 212, 216, 225, 227, 228, 229, 233, 234, 235, 237, 241, 242, 243, 244, 246, 248, 249, 251, 252, 257, 259, 260, 270, 271, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 283, 284, 287, 289, 292, 293, 295, 296, 297, 302, , 306, 312, 313, 316, 321, 328, 332, 335, 338, 340, checklist 2/4

Updated to reflect changes. I would prefer to trade 56 for 56, but will consider selling Robinsons and/or Banks

[kailes2872]

I have 9 additional commons coming in trade. I haven't identified them yet, but hopefully, I will have the list reflected by tomorrow or Wednesday.

I just posted my 59's, 67's, and 69's. I will be happy to trade for equal net value.

Thanks

I'm sure I have a few of these I can dig out. I am looking for Cardinals cards to finish up team sets. While I don't need any of the '55-'57 Topps cards, I can use a lot of others. I have vintage want lists on my site here: http://bbcardzman.webs.com
Or you can just send a list of any Cardinals you have for trade. If you do have some Cardinals for trade, I can let you know card #'s and conditions when I pull them later today.
Thanks

I have these. Are they something you are interested in?

Jon,
I'll send you an email.


I probably should have been clearer in the original description. My M.O. has been to buy a low or mid-grade set and then upgrade. With the exception of '67, this has been what I have done. 67 was collected card by painful card. I am now doing that with '56, but at least it is 342 cards vs 609.

As a result, all of my doubles are cards that I have upgraded. Therefore, they are somewhat of an island of misfit toys. A crease here, a wrinkle there, heavy OC, a mark on the card, etc. The Mantles are solid trade value because even though they are 3 and 3.5's, it has pretty clear VCP/SMR value to square up. I do not want to run into a situation where I make a trade and leave someone disappointed upon receipt.

Thanks for the PMs, and responses.

I have #144 and #204 with only minor corner wear and #299 Exmt but off center all the way top to bottom. LMK if you can use any.

See if you can figure out an even swap, provided you have some '56's to trade.
