I love the horizontal formatted sets of the mid 50's. About a 4 years ago I completed the 1955 Topps set in PSA 7 or better. Then I moved onto the 1956 Topps set in PSA 7 or better. I have finished the 1st series and I am 20 cards shy of the 2nd series. I already got the Mantle card but I do not have it scanned on this computer as of yet. I will be doing that soon. This set is in my opinion is one of the best in the 50's. I wish you the best of luck in completing it! Here are some cards that I got scanned in please enjoy.

Default from the November Sterling auction...
I used to have a 1955 Ted Williams and I loved that card...except that it had some issues I just couldn't live with, not least of which was terrible centering. I ended up selling it earlier this year and have had my eyes open for a suitable replacement...which I found last week!



This card is nicely centered and, since I'm working on a 1956 set, kills two birds with one stone...

I like that card too, Matt - one of the Splinter's best, but he does appear to be looking up at a mile-high popup, instead of long dinger. Topps was based in NY.

Beautiful set! Looks like you are well on your way.
Along the way don't forget to add a wrapper for good measure!

Default Catching up a little...
Over the past several months, I've managed to pick up quite a few commons as well as a few Hall of Famers. At this point, I'm about 53%+ towards completion of the set.
