Anyone collect 59 Topps?

How many different color backgrounds did they use?

I'm trying to get a star/HOFer in each color. So far I have:
Black - Frank Robby
Yellow - Mays
Light Green - Snider
Dark green - Cepeda

I know there's red, pink and blue. Maybe orange? More than one shade of blue?
Any suggestions for stars in these color backgrounds?

Mantle is probably the primo guy in red.

There's a long running 59 set thread over on the PSA Set Registry Forum you might want to check out.

I wonder how many times Gibson looked at that color scheme and silently vowed to wring the neck of someone at TOPPS?
