Help! I'm walking on the 1955 Topps fence (again)

Hi Guys, As some of you know I am collecting the 1956 Topps set in PSA 6/7 grade. I am at about 53% and going strong. However, I can't shake the thought of working on a PSA 6 1955 Topps set also as a secondary set. I really like the 1955 Topps set along with the 1956 Topps set. You only go around once so I thought why not collect both? I could use some advice on the 1955 Topps set if any is offered. Oh yes, did I mention that I could use some cards too. If anyone has either to offer, let me know as a PM or email me at nbdowney@msn.com

    The '55 set is one of the best sets going and a favorite of mine along with the 57 set. If you are not sure if you are going to complete it start with the key cards - Clemente, Williams, Koufax, Killebrew and move on to the commons. The color of some of the cards in this set make them seem like they were printed yesterday. Good luck with the set!

    Thanks for the comment. I am starting to lean towards doing the 1955 set in a PSA 6. However, I might have to sell my PSA 1965 Topps set to do it. I have six more cards to add to that set which would bring it over 23% complete (138 cards). A good offer on my 1965 Topps set would sure make a difference in my thinking. It's also listed under Neil B. Downey and Sons Collection. If amyone wants to make me an offer, PM me. Neil

    in my opinion the 55 set with the exception of 52 and 53 is topps best effort of the 50's. i would still keep those 65's . good luck!!

    Hi Highend, I noticed that you have on your post that you collect 1972 Topps PSA 8 cards. I have about 180 different one for sale. Send me an email at NBDOWNEY@MSN.COM and I'll send you a list. Neil

    Here's an excellent article written by Fogel on the
    '55 set (got it from PSA's library). Definitely worth checkin' out!
