Seldom-seen partial sheet of 100 cards from the 1956 Topps set, loaded with Hall of Famers.  Full 110-card sheets from this set are exceedingly rare, with very few known to exist, and several are actual production sheets.  Professionally matted and framed to a finished size of approximately 46" x 35", the sheet makes an impressive display.  More than 10 percent of the cards on the sheet picture Hall of Famers, including #1 William Harridge, #2 Warren Giles, #10 Warren Spahn, #15 Ernie Banks, #20 Al Kaline, #30 Jackie Robinson, #31 Hank Aaron #33 Roberto Clemente, and #79 Sandy Koufax.  The sheet also includes six 'Name at Left" team cards: Baltimore, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.  

In terms of condition, as one would expect, due to its age and size, the sheet does exhibit some wear, including small edge tears (which impact both the Koufax and Williams cards), stray creases, a few spots of paper loss, and faint wrinkling consistent with the sheet having been rolled up at some point in its life.  Wear at the corners is visible, particularly the top left (which exhibits considerable loss of paper) and the bottom left (which exhibits a small corner clip).  Despite the visible wear and creasing, this is a rare find, a beautiful display and certainly a centerpiece to even the most advanced uncut sheet collection.
