You're in good company; I had the same thought when I saw it and had to do a bit of research to prove to myself it wasn't the later album.

Mayo Smith may yet so up on the 1955 Topps stamps!

Someone at Topps had a man crush on the Phillies manager.

David,
Nope...still a long list...

Bob,
I actually have the Mayo Smith '55 stamp as a possibility listed in my notes. Never seen one though.

I don't see Mayo Smith as a possible '55 stamp Josh-you can exhale now....I actually found this thread again researching Hocus Focus, specifically the Gehrig card.

Can anyone show me a scan of the back of the Gehrig Hocus Focus card or at least tell me the number (not the subset #, the overall set # in the black circle). I have an idea on the other 22 Baseball Stars but not Larrupin' Lou.
