Description: ***UPDATED DESCRIPTION*** High-grade 1956 Topps baseball set. Outstanding high grade set was assembled over a long period of time by an astute collector.

The set features the following graded cards: (23) SGC 88 NM-MT: 12, 13 (Face), 17, 19, 24 (Groat), 48, 51, 57 (not PSA 8 as originally listed in the catalogue), 75, 85, 94, 120 (Ashburn), 133, 134, 136, 152, 160 (Pierce), 260 (Reese), 263, 281, 308 and 330.
