There are 120 cards in the 1956 Topps set. It is the first football card set to include a checklist, and it is also the first to include team cards. All of the Washington Redskins and Chicago Cardinals cards are short prints; you can see why on my 1956 Topps virtual uncut sheet page. Also, see Nearmint's Blog for an overview of the 1950-1959 Topps sets.

Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1956 Topps set: Roosevelt Brown, Bill George, Stan Jones, Lenny Moore, Joe Schmidt. Rookie cards of Heisman Trophy winners in the 1956 Topps set: Billy Vessels.
