My undying quest to figure out the sheet arrangement for 1955 Topps baseball cards has brought me to this forum. I am nearly finished figuring out what all the cards were on the sheet sold at auction in 1993 for which there exists only one, heavily grainy image:
I have but ONE card to identify and I will have all the cards figured out in this image, and I am here seeking help.
1955 Topps baseball cards were arranged in sheets of 110 cards, with 11 columns of 10 cards per column. Numbering the columns from left to right seems to be the most logical way to go, so the card in question here is the 9th card in column 10, up and to the left of the far bottom right card (Ted Williams). Here is the block of nine cards from the corner of the sheet blown up for some hope for clarity. It's the card in the middle of this image:
I have taken the liberty of filling in the known cards in the pseudo sheet partial below, with the card in question left blank:
What we DO know about this card:
A. It's a low number card. Probably UNDER #91
B. The head is on the left side of the card.
C. The background color on the card is NOT yellow.
D. The name strip across the bottom of the card is NOT yellow.
Any help with this?
