Agree with Dave. I have the 56 baseball subset done, but am 2 short on the 55s. The 55 baseball checklist was incomplete until just a few years back.

Value is hard to predict. Because it is not well known, very scarce and ugly to boot I would guess they are not widely collected as a set, but maybe high on the list of some player collectors. I have been contacted several times about my 55 and 56 Ted Williams. I do think that among graded player or set collectors higher graded cards would bring higher prices. Mine are all ungraded and I would say hand cut from strips that came in the packs. This one is from 56.

Welcome to the Board Matt. You started out with a bang

Any of the boxers in there? Marciano, Gavilan and Moore.

I do have the Marciano card in good shape. It's being graded right now.

Thanks

Which one?

Perforated (large /15) or unperforated (small /20)?

Unperforated one, smaller one (Marciano)

A number of the cards I have have pretty good picture development compared to a lot of the other cards I�ve seen. I understand it�s common when you find some of these cards for the pictures to not be developed very well. Hoping to get some decent grades back on the ones I�ve submitted.

Any advice on best way to sell the Marciano card and others? Is there a big community of vintage boxing card collectors?

Thanks
