The artwork illustrated in this (unheralded) TOPPS set is awesome. There are only 66 cards, depicting 132 players. |

Somewhere I the net I saw a scan of the entire set laid side by side. I do have a partial uncut panel, at least one can get an idea of the full picture |

Now I never knew you could construct a panorama of the stadium by laying the cards out in a row. You can still learn something new, it's never too late! |

Also being a "stadium nut" (love stadium backgrounds on cards), I too, thank you Ted, for showing me something I was not aware of before. Beautiful. |

Just when I thought the post-war board was dragging, you picked it right up, Ted, Anthony, and those to come. Totally the best! I wasn't collecting in 1955 but in the 60s when I started I never ever saw these, or I'd have had several. A lot of thought went into these to be sure. Only thing better is if they'd have left them borderless -- but I'm not complaining. Keep 'em coming! |

The design for '55 Doubleheaders was stolen from the T201 Mecca foldover set, which I believe was the first set to have stats on the back of the card. While they are full bleed (I agree that is the only flaw in the '55 design) putting them together does not form any sort of panorama. |

Paul- they often put the thinner packs in a mylar baggie. This one didn't bother me that much, but some of the other packs don't look that great with it so I had them reslab it without. |

Oh, so they are exact replicas of the T201 style with the half stat-half player flip. Very interesting. |

I checked the pops and the set registry, lots of 8's with some 9's in there. I don't know if there was a large find of ones that were never folded into packs, or if PSA and SGC take this into account. Bob F and a few others went in on a high grade large lot of these a few years back, perhaps he'll chime in. |

paul,i too have never sent a card in to the grading company's. i display all my cards in plastic sheets in binders. i just really like how they look in binders. i have thought about sending in my nicest hall of famers to be graded. the reason is, that if they graded higher than nm., i could sell them and buy the same card(maybe in ex or exmint) and have some money to spend on other cards. but i just would hate to spend money on slabs when i could be spending it on cards. |

Dennis -- I probably noticed that in the past, since raws tend to catch my eye, although I don't always remember who uploaded. I'm about the same as you in regard to cost -- it's prohibitive when compared to the cards I could purchase. I flirt with the idea of one or two because I'm so darn curious. And, as you say, for selling purposes. |

Some of the backgrounds even go from light to dark as you sweep across the panorama. BB Cards magazine had a full color spread of the fronts many, many years ago as eye candy for the masses. I had a scan of that, not sure if I lost it in my hard drive crash but I'll post it if I find it. |

The 1955 Topps Double Headers Set was and still is a particular favorite of Kit Young. Check out the old TTS from 1978-80 or so for more details. Whenever I see Kit, we still joke about this |

1955 was the first year that is still recoverable from my memory bank: baseball cards section, opening packs. I know from the collection I had as a kid that I opened packs before that, but that particular memory does not go back before age 8. That year had the 55 Bowman TV cards, the 55 Topps regular issue and the good ole doubleheaders. |
