Please tell me you took some time trying to figure that one out. "Dick Hall" doesn't just pop into someone's head.

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.

I went with 1956, although it was a real tough choice between that and 1971. If we do the worst set for each decade, my votes would probably be 1959, 1962, and 1970.

Looks like we are going to have a clear cut winner here. I'm going to go ahead and call it!! The 1956 is the favorite Topps set of all time!!
I think I'll go out and build the set now. |
