There is a size difference between the 55s and 56s, The 55s are sometimes referred to as "small" at 7/8 x 1-3/8 and the 56s as "large" at 1 X 1 5/8. My experience has been the 55s are much tougher and the larger baseball checklist for the 55s has some ambiguities in it
Yup, the small cards are ridiculously harder than the large ones. I believe the photos are them same on the cards common to each set. I also think there is a reasonable chance each subset of the small cards has five more cards when compared to the same large subset. That is the trend I have observed but I can't confirm all the small subsets yet.

I got your pix, will scan 'em soon-off to Mobile for a short business trip.
