1957 Topps Set (Baseball)

Set Notes
<

Excerpt

The cards in this 407-card set measure approximately 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". Topps returned to the vertical obverse, adopted what we now call the standard card size, and used a large, uncluttered colo photo for the first time since 1952. Cards in the series 265 to 352 and the unnumbered checklist cards are scarcer than other cards in the set. However, within this scarce series (265-362) there are 22 cards which were printed in double the quantity of the other cards in the series; these 22 double prints are indicated by DP in the Beckett checklists.
