Newest custom: 1956 Frank Robinson

I've loved the 1956 Topps set since I was a kid. Making '56 customs, however, are among the hardest for me to do.

    Thanks, all.

    As I'll be posting on my blog in a couple of days, the background on the front was originally that of Ted Kluszewski.

    On back, the cartoon at left was from Frank House. The cartoon at right was from Jimmy Piersall. I have to create the center cartoon from a piece of clip art.
