Mike...Both the '54 & '55 Bowmans have considerable variation in size, both under and over the size quoted in the various checklists. Check the edges on the back side as it is easier to detect trimming from the back. Has anybody ever assembled a NM-Mt set of '55's that measure out precisely the same ? Thats a set I would DEFINITELY pass on....

Mark & Spokes- Thanks a million for the info! That gives me ten more cards towards a really nice set. That ten included the tougher Palica and Skowron!
I just assumed they might be timmed, tonight I will have the chance to put them under the glass to check the edges. This has been a two week period of when it rains it pours, the same gentleman sold me near 53, 54 & 55 Topps sets in the same shape. Sure wish he had started collecting in 52!

Most of the variation that I have in the set I'm working on for '55B seems to be more left to right.....that is horizontally.....I don't see as much variation in the T/B sizing.....just my take....about 60% done with the set.
