Also 1956 Topps

Hello I wanted to bump this great thread because I am currently building a '56 set in PSA 6+ (details in sig). I just spent three days reading this whole thread and it was very informative. I would like to get some updates from people in this thread on what they have done with there set and if the others are still building it. I hope this thread continues to thrive. Let's hear from old and new '56 set builders like myself!

The other day I was trying to figure out how many HOF'ers were in the '56 set. A brief online search took me to an article that says there are 34, but I could not find a comprehensive list (not that I spent all that much time on it). I did a little research of my own and I could only find 31. Can anyone help me out and fill in the three I'm missing?

Aaron, Alston, Aparicio, Ashburn, Banks, Berra, Campanella, Clemente, Feller, Ford, Fox, Irvin, Kaline, Kell, Killebrew, Koufax, Lemon, Mantle, Mathews, Mays, Reese, Rizzuto, Roberts, Robinson, Schoendienst, Slaughter, Snider, Spahn, Wilhelm, Williams, Wynn.

I just picked up HOF'er #15 for my set. I may need an intervention at some point to stop buying these.

Walter - I realize this is a way late reply to your posting above. Your list of 1956 HOF'rs should include card #1-Harridge; card #2-Giles; and card #250-Doby. Hope you are still out there and working on your set. Still at it with mine.

I was curious where everyone rank's in the PSA registry with there sets ? I'm just trying to get an idea who everyone is since I'm new to the set. I've been building it for 2 1/2 months now. This is how I stand for now..

137 Basic

60 Master

29 Super

My sets names are: Mike Knight Jr

I will be looking for 101-180 white backs if anyone has any available.
