A tremendous, historically significant set, the 1956 Topps US Presidents set comprised 36 cards of US presidents, each illustrated in a colorful pose with a historically relevant background image behind him. Also included in the set are three important dates in history. The colorful illustrations, and the historical nature of the cards, have made this set a key issue among nonsports collectors, one of the more beautiful sets in the non-sports hobby.
