Tip Top Bread is a great set. Conventional wisdom in the past has been that the Tip Top Boy, Forbes Field, and Dreyfuss are the toughest cards in the set. In my opinion, these three cards are definitely more difficult to locate. I am not sure if this is due to a true short supply of these cards, or because they are hoarded away in collections. I have been looking for Tip Top Boy and Forbes Field for a few years, and only recently was able to pick up a Forbes Field.

One thing that has always intrigued me about the set is how often you find cards with paper loss on the reverse, usually on the corners. This seems to indicate they were pasted into some sort of album. However, I have never seen or heard of a Tip Top album.

My holdings:

Wagner
Abaticchio
Flynn
Miller
Webb
Forbes Field
