Opinion on Topps 1955

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

....are the result of the final round of litigation between the Bowman Gum Co vs Topps.

Topps produced its smallest issue with only 206 cards in 1955 and Bowman's "TV set" has 320 cards.
Philadelphia based Bowman....features Mantle, Ford, most of the Phillies, and many of the Umpires of
the 1950's.
Brooklyn based Topps features most of the Dodgers in its set.

Warren Bowman was a "sue happy" guy and went to court many times at the "drop of a hat" over con-
tractural rights to players....as far back as the late 1930's with Bowman's Play Ball issues.
