Round 3
1955 Topps Sheet 17.jpg
1955 Topps Sheet 18.jpg 1955 Topps Sheet 19.jpg 1955 Topps Sheet 20.jpg 1955 Topps Sheet 21.jpg The Clemente was obtained during his RC hype. Any losses though will be tempered by his condition. It is a nice image though. Astute observers will notice the absence of #166 Hank Bauer. I have a graded Hank though. Still looking for a suitable downgrade. 1955 Topps Sheet 22.jpg #175 was never issued, but a spot is reserved. You never know. 1955 Topps Sheet 23.jpg 1955 Topps Sheet 24.jpg #186 is identical to #175 1955 Topps Sheet 25.jpg I like the fact that Willie lost his New York Giants identity after heading to SF. Surprised they didn't try to change the cap too. I'm not sure, but this could be the "die-cut" variation, very rare. 1955 Topps Sheet 26.jpg The last two nonexistent cards were not reserved a spot. That's it. Complete. 206 cards. 62 years old. Putting it together in 1955-56 was fun. Putting it together in 2015-2016 was just as much fun. A shout out to USPS as well for not damaging any of these beauties in transit. A note of appreciation to Lucky Larry, who only collects this way to this day and should be an inspiration to more collectors (in addition to the OBC crowd), the way it was and the way it still can be.
