UPDATE 6/24: AFTER I WROTE THE BELOW I FOUND AN OLD SCAN THAT SHOWS 1954 PROBABLY WAS A 110 ARRAY.

Topps went to 110 for 1955 Baseball, not sure if any Giant Size cards were printed at the tail end of 1954 as they may have been reconfiguring (not much else at all for Topps in '54 actually beyond the smaller size Scoop). The high-high series of World on Wheels (171-180) was printed oddly and maybe not by Lord Baltimore Press and the date and method of their issue is actually unknown, but other than that Baseball was their sole 1954 Giant Size issue I believe. The standard size print patterns changed from 1957-60 then again in 1961.

1955 and '56 Topps Baseball are 110 card half sheets. 1955 is printed very strangely and I think they put some "holes" in the numbering in case of specific player disputes with Bowman. Both years (and 1954, also with a weird array) would be excellent candidates for SP/DP study, especially 1955. And some early Topps NS series printed in smaller sizes like Look 'N' See are also wonky in terms of print arrays.

I will start a 1955 Baseball thread, I have a few different images.
