1956 marked Topps' first foray into NFL football. Again the card sizes were a bit larger, just like the 1956 Topps at 2 5/8" by 3 5/8". As usual, I resized it to the modern day 2.5" x3.5". Here is a side by side of the actual 1956 Topps Football card of Hall of Fame quarterback Bobby Layne and the 1956 AL MVP Mickey Mantle. The Mantle card has already made an appearance on my Twitter page. It stemmed from an off the cuff remark from my brother. Now I am making baseball cards of all the (vintage) Topps football cards. You never know what will set me off, lol.
