The 1956 Topps Jets set is a (240) card series from Topps in a smaller than normal format for the timeframe. The cards measure 2-1/16" wide by 2-15/16" high and have glossy uniform fronts with red white and black graphics and the card number in the lower left. The inset picture of the jet is in black and white. The card backs have a graphic of the plane with details about the specifics of the plane such as speed, range, ceiling, weight, length and span. The set is a great early nonsports offering from Topps. The set has a companion album for placing the cards and the set was issued in both one and five cent packages.
This lot of (121) cards from the 1956 Topps Jets sets is comprised by a complete Series 1 set of (120) plus one card from the second series. A representative sample have been scanned but the cards are pretty uniformly EX to NRMT with most around EXMT. Very nice group.
