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...

Not selling but perhaps easiest with possible $$$ return.
ASSUMPTIONS:
#1) You are one of the RARE tax payers left in America
#2) You have mostly late 80's & 90's "junk"
Consider donating the "junk" and keep better stuff to sell later. Tax deduction was based on LESSER of "what-it-cost" & "What-it's-Worth". For "What-it's-Worth", I use Beckett which can be higher than what you paid. Check with your tax guy.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)

The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.

In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.

In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
