My ongoing 56 topps thread
Ok so I figured since this is going to be a progress I should just dedicate a thread to it and just update it. As most of you know, I'm trying to build the 56 topps set. Not in amazing condition, right now I just wanna complete it, then upgrade as I can. Right now my only rules are no major rips, no writing, and decent color. I started with these from the dollar bin and a trimmed mantle, along with a decent Aaron

Last week, I added these from the dollar bin

And...the big one today...traded a 70 dollar gordie Howe/Alex delvecchio dual auto for it...

I have a ton of 56's in all conditions. If you want off-quality cards, let me know privately. I do not have the time to put into "inventory" but trust me, I probably have what you need and autographed cards sound like great trade bait

Dude that Clemente is awesome! Even in that condition it's still more valuable than the auto you traded for it.

The fact it's a gb definitely helps!
