Vintage 1956 Complete Topps Baseball Card Set w/Mantle Clemente Koufax & Aaron

This incredibly impressive lot features a complete 1956 Topps baseball card set in EX-EX/MT+ condition overall . The return of Mantle to the brand after 3 away is particularly notable. With Topps having acquired Bowman the previous year, consumers were no longer forced to choose between manufacturers and risk missing out on their favorite player. Many consider the 1956 Topps Baseball set a turning point for the baseball card industry as it marked the beginning of Topps' monopoly over the baseball card industry which lasted all the way until 1981, and was then re-established in 2010.
