Default 1956 Topps...who's favorite summer???

So I wanted to try and put together a horizontal format set and I narrowed it down to a choice between 1955 and 1956...the 1960 set just doesn't impact me the way those two do. From there, I decided I didn't want to deal with expensive rookies (i.e. Koufax, Clemente and, to a lesser extent, Killebrew). While I still have to deal with Mantle, the rest of the '56 set looks really nice and has a great roster of players...so that was the choice. It started with a nice run of raw cards (commons, semi-stars and a couple HOF'ers) compliments of Jarrod (scmavl) and from there I won a sharp lot of 13 commons/semi-stars in the last Sterling Sports Auction. The graded cards are all PSA 5 but look much better and have great centering & corners...at least to me...here's what I picked up...enjoy.
