Lot 985: 1956 Topps Baseball Penny Pack GAI 7.5
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Unwrapping (if you dare) this extremely rare 1956 Topps baseball penny pack (NRMT+ 7.5) would reveal one of the company's aesthetic hits on its cards: a face shot silhouette next to a photo sketch actioner signed by the player. The photography was mostly old in the 340-card set, so Topps got creative. Double cheers to you if a Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente or Ernie Banks is snuggled inside the wax wrapper. Alternating pitcher and batter motif covers the yellow background. That's a lot for a penny. Please don't open it though as it's one of the rarer penny packs around.
