1956 or 1957 Topps? Which would you choose?

Filthy · #1 01-22-2016, 11:25 AM

As far as "all the other stuff.....

-Stack of 1953 singles (14 cards all "commons" except for Roy Campanella)
- 1955 Double Headers
-The other complete set of 57' Topps set
-Stack of 58' Topps (20-30 cards)
-6 pages of 1959 Topps, including several duplicates of no name Rookies
-Tons and Tons of 1950s Movie cards. Probably 1,000+ cards.
-Cowboy Western cards (25 or so)
-President Cards
-Elvis Presley Movie cards (12-15 cards)
-Complete Set of some Movie Star/rock star from the 50s. (Elvis, James Dean)
-Some kind f 1950s War cards, with planes, guns, military etc... (100+)

Either way, just thought I would share. It was cool just to go thru a lot of this stuff.. (Feel free to comment, or share any info that you might have on some of the non sports stuff as well) I didn't think it warranted its own thread.

This probably only opens the can of worms more, but it might help to compare player-by-player and which set has the best cards of your favorites:

My choice of 1956 or 1957 for selected players:

- M. Mantle: 1956 (seems to be a hobby icon, not that others don't like 57)
- R. Clemente: 1956
- S. Koufax: 1957
- H. Aaron: 1957
- W. Mays: 1956
- T. Williams: 1956
- R. Campanella: 1956

Also:
- Only in 1956 set: Jackie Robinson, Bob Feller, Monte Irvin, Al Rosen
- Only in 1957 set: Brooks, Frank Robinson, Don Drysdale, Rocky Colavito

Beautiful collection, Filthy!

I never knew movie star/music star cards existed, but I do know a lady who would love to have that Elvis card.

Any of the cards for sale or trade?
I could use some of them for my personal collection!

I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do just yet. I'm getting everything sorted/catalogued and then go from there. Will definitely let you know though.

Sweet! Let me know whenever you get a chance. I'd be interested in 56 and 57 Hall of Famers
