So I have been searching everywhere and have yet to find one. I have a 56 and the photos I see of "55"s looks the same. Does this card exist? If it does how can you even tell the difference?

I think this is probably the wrong forum for this post, but the '55 is out there. Jason Eggert has one, and a few others have hit the auction block as part of a larger lot.

BTW - love the ticket stub idea!

What is the difference between the 2? How can you tell it's a 55?

1955: smaller card, 7/8 inch wide, Jackie Robinson is #16 of 23 Baseball stars (will say that on the back)

1956: larger card, 1 inch wide, JR is #14 of 18 baseball.
