Just viewed the virtual '56 Gallery and saw his card. I knew he had a 1971 card--I liked his '70 and '71 cards-- so I had my answer.
Actually though I did this yesterday when searching for additional guys responsive to your question about the 56/65/71 sets. I was surprised and did not remember that Hall had no card in the 1965 Topps set, as I knew he had cards both before and after. He should have been included, coming off a 9-1 season with several saves and a sub-2.00 ERA.
Was also surprised that Al Dark missed the 1965 set, as he was all around it and in both '56 and '71 sets. I did not know he had been fired after 1964's 90-72 season because of what were wrongfully perceived as racist remarks about his players.
