Hi Charlie and welcome to the forum, Jim here. The 56 is a great set. When completing any set from the 50s, I found the star cards are always easy to find (although expensive). The hardest part of completing the set is chasing the commons - also one of the most enjoyable parts. I think you will find as you move forward completing a set to your satisfaction, you will always - I repeat always - end up with duplicates (especially the commons). These you could use to trade, or sale, to continue funding your chase for set completion. When it gets down to a few cards you can always use sites such as ebay to complete the set.
What part of the country do you live in? I ask because you may find a vintage collector on this forum willing to sell some of their duplicates or trade to get you guys off on the right foot.
I realize you already know what I stated above, so I'll just say welcome and have fun! You two will enjoy the ride together!
