Checking my stack of 1955's, I have Card 90 with a white back (a trademark of a series 1 card, the other series only have cream, which was on every card), and card 100 with a white back, but 91-99 are all cream only, no whites sure enough. I can cross these off my want list now.

An image of the back side one of the known sheet #1s is miscut across the top and shows the bottom of the stats on the upper sheet half, and they are exactly the same cards as the bottom row of the bottom sheet half. They were evidently actually printed 220 at a time. Given the sheet half at the top is also configuration #1, this tells me that there were two matching halves on each printed sheet of 220.
