1956 Topps Football

After they acquired Bowman, Topps issued its first NFL licensed football set issuing (120) brightly colored cards. Team cards were a nice new addition to the earlier Bowman offerings. Also issued was a checklist and (5) special contest cards. Most of these special cards were either tossed away or sent in to win prizes making them quite difficult to find.
Like its early 1950's baseball issues, these cards measured in at 2-5/8" x 3-3/4", sligtly larger than the regular modern issued cards.
Each team had (9) player cards and the team card. To make the number of cards work with the card-sheet size, Topps printed all the cards twice on each sheet, EXCEPT the Washington Redskins and Chicago Cardinals who were short printed (single printed)and are more difficult to find. Top Rookies: Lenny Moore, Roosevelt Brown, Joe Schmidt, Bill George...

Are sports cards valuable ?

Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value, others go up and some can even become very valuable. Card values are based on many factors: player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest. A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.

Q: What are some ways to collect cards ? * Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears), players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George & Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)

"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue. On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
