I have been having some sellers remorse since I sold my PSA 6 1955 Topps set. I really enjoyed building it and sharing it with the other 55 guys. I always thought of upgrading it someday when I still owned it. Well its gone and its not coming back, so I have decided to build another set. Im going to build this set in PSA 7. Im looking forward to the journey again, but I will do it at a slower pace this time. As like the 6s, centering will be a major factor when purchasing any of them. Wish me luck!

    Bob, good luck. I'd buy in both grades, true EX/MNT and Near mint.

    No net graded cards.

    Why not buy only the money cards already graded and do the commons raw?

    You may enjoy that way too. I did and do.

    Good for you.

    Classic set, in some ways even superior to the 56's. Good luck.

    Also, I've always liked the Topps promo cards as well.

    Downtown, good luck in with whatever you decide to. The 55 is a great set and I can see why you would regret selling it.

    Bob,
    Welcome back to the Topps 55's. Even though I was a little surprise when you sold your set I know that you again will triumph again in collecting 55's the second time around. Like you I consider centering a major factor in collecting 55's, I guess that is why even though I completed my collection last week, I still want to find some of my cards with better centering (PSA 6's). Best of luck to you my friend and to a great set!!! Gary

    Topps did themselves quite well with that set - a beauty, especially in high grade.

    I think the competition with Bowman at the time helped keep Topps sharp.
