I don't collect '55 Topps, but how can this common be worth more than $1100.00? |

The 55 set was the first one put together that did not come from my childhood. Also had many 55s go thru my hands and can vouch for the fact that that Sherman Lollar is easily the hardest card in the set. Delsing and Zauchin were prolly the next hardest. The last card I needed each time I put the set together was Yogi Berra. There were plaenty out there, I was just was never able to find ones in nice shape. |

That a "high-end" 8 might have been resubmitted once or twice in hopes of a 9. Population numbers may always been higher than actually exist -- but never less. |

Great info-- any chance that these few cards were short-printed? How does one go about verifying what cards from a particular set are short-printed? It seems that without looking at uncut sheets, your only method would be to deduce by examining huge amounts of data (cards)and performing statistical analysis. Anyone know how its been done in the past? |

Usually done from uncut sheets, but also from very knowledgable sources like Bill Henderson. There is a reason they call him the King of Commons He was the person that told me what cards were going to tough in the 55 Topps set. |
