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 complete set of (240) 1956 Topps Jets cards are housed in the original pair of albums that accompanied the set. The cards themselves are in VG to EX condition with the normal edge and corner issues associated with cards put into the album like these.
