1955 Topps uncut sheets

[chadeast]

Does anyone have any images or information on 1955 Topps 110 card uncut sheets? I've searched for some time, and have found images of 1952, 1953, 1956 uncut sheets, among others, but I have never seen more for 1955 than a 5x5 grid of cards that was auctioned off by REA a few years ago. I've heard mention that they are known to exist, by REA themselves for one, but I've never actually see evidence of it.

Thanks for any knowledge you can send my way

Dave Hornish has a partial sheet on his blog and says uncut sheets exist. Don't know if he actually has a scan of one. He posts here

I also have a full sheet scan but it's really murky. It's from an old REA print auction and Rob advised me he does not have a better picture or scan unfortunately:

Thank you Dave! Assuming that the photo is real, this is a gold mine of info for me. Anyone familiar enough with the 55 Topps set can probably name every card by sight even in this resolution. Off the top of my head, I see a lot of low number cards, Billy Herman, Rhodes, Aaron, Kaline, maybe a Ted Williams bottom left? Pretty sure I see a monte irvin, 100, third row center. Sandy Amaros on top left? So this is definitely a first series sheet.

I'm pathetically excited right now, like I just spotted Bigfoot Thanks for making my day.

I have some of it sketched out; I may post it on my blog and see what everyone can come up with. I will just say it is not a typical Topps array for now.
