Complete eighty-card set of 1956 Topps Davy Crockett green-back cards plus one variation (card #20), for a total of eighty-one cards. The 1956 Topps Davy Crockett cards were issued with both green and orange backs. The green-back cards are much scarcer than the orange back cards, and the matched set offered here (plus the additional variation) is composed exclusively of green backs. This 1956 Topps nonsport set was based on the popular 1950s television show starring Fess Parker as Davy Crockett. All eighty-one cards have been graded and encapsulated by PSA. PSA Grading Composite: NM-MT 8 (7 cards): #8 (OC), 14 (OC), 31 (OC), 38 (OC), 55, 58 (OC), and 59 (OC).
