I find it hard to believe that there hasn't been an official thread started for the 1955 Topps set? Just gaze at this card from the PSA web site...

It doesn't get much better than a pristine Koufax Rookie.

    What is your thought on rough cuts.

    I actually seek out the rough cut cards in this set. When I find upgrades for my set, I much prefer the rough cuts over the straight cuts if available.

    At the moment I only have two cards from the set. I would say that I like the straight cuts.
    Here's what I have.

    Boy...for only having two cards, you sure have a couple beautiful HEAVY HITTERS!!!

    Here's what I'm talking about with the rough cut...to me...the cards look like you just cracked them out of a pack:)

    Thanks. Okay yes I think I agree. The rough cuts are cool.

    Are you guys referring to the jaggedness around the edges? Those are some pretty lean, clean copies!

    Yes...to me it almost lends more legitimacy to the card...

    Here's my Koufax for further example.

    Yes, I agree. It almost feels as if its a better conditioned card having the 'rough cut.'

    I'm actually SLOWLY working on a Koufax master set. The '66 O Pee Chee is killing me right now. Just not any high-end copies available. I think there's only one 9 with none higher, and the 9 hasn't seen the light of day for as long as I've been looking!!!
