According to PSA's Population Report, there are seven 1955 Topps high series cards that are somewhat tougher than the others:
#176 Zauchin, #183 Jacobs, #192 Delsing, #195 Roebuck, #201 Lollar, #205 Freese, #207 Consolo
Several years ago, when population numbers were lower, some high-number singles with populations of only 3 or 4 in a PSA 8 would sell for several thousand dollars each. Now, the lowest number of 8s for any given card is 10. Personally, I don't think any of these cards (listed above) is worth more than $500 in a PSA 8, but in this case, two different collectors were pursuing the same card. Also, I think that PSA's Set Registry is boosting the value of some of the tougher cards in the 1950s, 60s and 70s baseball sets.
