Offered here is a trio of autographed 1956 Topps cards from a Hall of Fame hurler and two position players with a combined eight World Series and 21 All-Star appearances among them. Roberts spent the majority of his career in Philadelphia where the right-handed ace compiled 234 of his 286 wins. Slugging catcher /OF Elston Howard won the AL MVP in 1963 and after helping the Yankees win six World Series, the 12-time All-Star would get the ultimate honor by having his #32 retired by the storied franchise. Dodgers smooth hitting and slick fielding OF Carl Furillo won the 1953 NL batting title and was instrumental in the club's only title in Brooklyn and first title in LA.
Roberts and Howard both signed their cards in blue ballpoint, while Furillo autographed his in black ballpoint pen. All autographs and card grades have been deemed authentic by PSA/DNA and PSA, respectively. Great additions for any vintage baseball card collector looking to build a '56 Topps signed set.
