Congrats also on making the decision to go from modern to vintage card collecting. I don't think you'll be disappointed, and may look back at this as a very smart move many years from now. And just wait till the pre-war collecting bug finally bites you.........

Just show her some of the stories and articles out there about the card market and the investment opportunities. And then say you're looking to diversify your retirement portfolio. With luck she'll buy it. LOL

I think you made a solid choice. 1956 Topps present beautifully.

I've been slowly collecting this set since the late 1970's (I take my time).

The back of the cards are second to none. Interesting that there have been no comments about this.

Sy Berger once mentioned that Comic Bool illustrators were used to draw the cartoons on the backs.

Check the art work detail and information on the card back of a common guy like George Zuverink.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Probably my favorite Topps set as well. If you're going for all of the hall of famers, don't forget about the two league presidents. They're not nearly as nice as the player cards, but if you want to be complete ....
