1955 Topps Set (Baseball)

Set Notes
<

Excerpt

The cards in this 206-card set measure approximately 2 5/8" by 3 3/4. Both the large 'head' shot and the smaller full-length photos used on each card of the 1955 Topps set are in color. The card fronts were designed horizontally for the first time in Topps' history. The first card features Dusty Rhodes, hitting star and MVP in the New York Giants' 1954 World Series sweep over the Cleveland Indians. A 'high' series, 161 to 210, is more difficult to find than cards 1 to 160. Numbers 175, 186, 203 and 209 were never issued.
